As everyone knows the weather in Scotland is grim! We suffer continually from pouring rain, fog, snow, and gloom and that is generally just in the one afternoon. However would you be surprised if this Scottish lass whispered in your ear, that this is a myth, totally make-believe? Oh yes, we do get our fair share of ‘weather’ in all forms, however Dunans Castle sits on the West Coast, just off the shores of the glorious Loch Fyne and we do benefit from the warmth that the Gulf Stream brings, as it meanders past our shores.
To this end, the past 2 weeks have brought us glorious sunshine and balmy teeshirt evenings. This has resulted in fabulous flowers, swallows copulating noisily at unseemly hours of the morning (mostly above the eves of our bedroom, hence the grumpy mention), and all creatures generally galumphing about with smiles on their faces. Every where you look 4 paws and 2 legs in all are soaking up the rays. Needless to say, we all have short memories, so when in June the monsoon season starts, I am sure we shall all be saying how miserable this years weather is and our West Coast bliss will continue a secret for another year, unless of course you read this!
