Bressay

 Jill picked up Mark for PA day. It was an amazing sunny day so we had a run over to Bressay. It's not a big island but so beautiful. As it was the first day actually out of the house for a while, we took it easy.. Lerwick was looking lovely and had a drive around.




The evening stayed clear. It was a stunning moon and Jupiter was clear as well.

Unplanned trip

 Due to the issues with the car and the RAC being totally obtuse ( and because Jim's garage had told the RAC they had collected the car when they hadn't), we did a last minute unplanned trip to Aberdeen to drop the car off to the garage. They needed it for 3 days so we decided to make the most of it. Yay! 

The crossing was the calmest ever.






Aviemore and surrounds didn't disappoint.




Plenty of woodland birds.



































Then a nice run up to one of our favourite spots, Findhorn Valley.








Then some squirrels and friends



























The car was finished early but luckily we checked thoroughly as they had not found some of the electrical faults. We swapped cars over , did a bit of shopping and headed for the ferry. Another calm trip
Today was Jill's birthday- we chilled! What a nice wee trip.
