Weekend at Cottage

Had a great weekend over at the cottage.  Saturday was a little overcast in the morning and then deteriorated into some solid West Coast drizzle and low cloud in the afternoon.  Luckily we got out early enough in the morning to avoid the rain and had a walk round Arduaine and enjoyed some of the late rhododendrons and summer perennials.

This was followed by lunch in the Chartroom at the Loch Melfort Hotel.

The rain came in in the afternoon so whilst I settled down to watch Chris Froome strut his stuff in the Tour De France, Isobel settled do to doing some baking including some Vanilla and Blueberry muffins and some very fine Almond macaroons.

Sunday dawned with fabulous clear blue sky and stayed that way.  A thoroughly lazy day was enjoyed, including lunch on the platform over looking Seil Sound, just fabulous.  Proved rather hard to tear ourselves away to come home in the evening, especially as Andy Murray was only half way through the third set at that stage!!
