After our Loch Ness adventure we spent the next couple of days parked up, spending our time chatting and doing some embroidery. Andy in the meantime spent some time on the horsebox doing a bit of maintenance, and chopping wood for the inferno called a log burner.
Monday came round and it was time for another adventure. This time it was further up into the Highlands heading towards Ullapool, to check out for the next park up for Mel and Andy and also to show me the scenery. How I wish you could move conventional houses where ever you want too !!
Although I've seen pictures of Scotland before nothing prepared me for the sheer size and beauty of this place..... it was breath taking. Huge snow covered mountains, bright blue lochs, huge icicles hanging down the cliff faces and babbling streams frozen in motion.
Our first stop was at an old park up of Andy and Mels, a particular favourite one. But this time there was no way they were going to tuck themselves away here, it was about 3ft deep in snow, with drifts even deeper, and totally inaccessible for the two trucks. But a great place for Andy and I, to indugle ourselves in our mutual love of photography.
Once the dogs were let out, they made the most of the snow, Dylan was dashing around everywhere and leaping about in the snow drifts. Custard who is way too laid back to be leaping about, had fun just running around. The snow here was different to anything I've seen before, it must be so cold there that the snow flakes are frozen instantly, producing snow that looks just like crystals....very pretty. Just across the road was a small herd of stags something we were hoping that I would get the chance to see while I was here. A shame they were just that bit too far away for me to get a really good photo of them with my little camera, but still amazing I got to see them in their natural settings.
