Glen Cannich: Wednesday 4th May 2016
Although I have labelled today "Glen Cannich" and we did visit Glen Cannich, today was really a day of rest. Whether it was all the activity we have done, or our celebration of 36 years of marriage yesterday, we both felt a little weary this morning and the weather was cloudy with little prospect of anything better. So in our usual spirit of teamwork, I spent the morning doing a jigsaw while Alison washed our clothes. By lunchtime we noticed some unexpected rays of sunshine poking through the clouds. We were sufficiently encouraged by this that we ventured out for a scenic drive along Glen Cannich as far as Loch Mullardoch ..... It rained most of the time we were out! But as a special bonus a Black-throated Diver in summer clothes was on a small lochan close to the road - and that made it all worthwhile.
