A Wee Rest

A nice walk by the loch in the late morning.
Eldest son was somewhere in the skies above us.
Middle son decided to go for a run and disappeared off into the trees...
Daughter decided that today, Mum was a nice mum and stayed close.
Hubby managed to get out for a decent walk without being called out.
All well with the world...

Except, for the first time ever, there were no birds at all in the wee loch in front of my favourite hide. Not even a heron! Very strange!
And, for the first time ever, not a single heron on the banks of the river - a bit disconcerting!

However, a tasty lunch and some delish Orkney ice cream (eldest appeared just as we were choosing flavours!) and all was well again - made better by a short trip to visit our favourite Scottish Deerhounds - no photos this time!

I think the dogs enjoyed the walk as much as we did.
