Red sails in the sunset.....

The weather has been very fair all week with temperatures of about 20C accompanied by a lovely warming breeze which has encouraged more boating life of all shapes and sizes onto Loch Ness.

We have been thoroughly enjoying sitting outside at the end of the day with a glass or two beside the tubs of winter pansies that are still flowering profusely. Due to the lack of rain they do have to be watered regularly but they do keep the busy bees occupied. The other evening there was a magnificent sunset and we watched fascinated as the sky just got redder and redder until even the water was blood red.

Sunset over Loch Ness.

Witnessed a beautiful sunset reflected in the water of Loch Ness the other evening and we went out to watch the ever changing colours in the sky and in the water. Had thick coats on as it was below freezing but the 'wee dram' clasped tightly in our hands helped keep us warm inside.

 Watched the sun setting on Loch Ness yesterday at 3.30 in the afternoon - spectacular.
