Ok, so the temperature made it into the 20s yesterday. It hasn't been cold these last few days, so I shouldn't complain, but "heat wave?" Not for us, I'm afraid. On the other hand we're not threatened with water rationing so I really should be grateful for small mercies.
On 12th June we had a stall at the Victorian Day in Strathpeffer, for instance, and it's true we didn't get drenched, but the whole thing nearly took off once or twice. Ralph and I had to hang onto the stall frame for dear life. There's always a bright side, though isn't there? In this case it was the children in the fancy dress competition who were lovely. My favourites were the chimney sweeps, a blacksmith and the (very!) young mum with a perambulator.
Still, it is summer and whatever the weather, there is no better place to be than the northwest highlands of Scotland. The photo above is an unspoilt, beautiful beach near Durness in Sutherland. I rest my case.
