Stopped in our tracks

Yet another huge casualty of the big storm (Eowyn in late January) that hasn't been cleared yet. Admittedly this is a very quiet, overgrown path in the forest at Balmaha. As you can see, Mindi was all for climbing over the tree trunk and continuing down the track, but I opted to turn back.

Lovely to be back in Balmaha on such a sunny day. The place was hoaching with visitors, West Highland Way walkers and Conic Hill climbers, with the local pub and coffee shop doing a roaring trade. Tomorrow, being a public holiday, will no doubt be the same.

Extra 1  -   I'm lucky to have the luxury of Mindi's beautiful, peaceful garden, away from the crowds

Extra 2  -  Mindi and her eyelashes.

Extra 3  -  last night's birthday cake. There was a piece left over for me to have today :-)
