It's normal.
I could see snow on the hills as I checked my garden thermometer yesterday, it was 26C at sea level
, and no midgies either

It happens in England too, sometimes.
I remember taking an Australian student to see her first snow in the early eighties during May Bank Holiday. I didn't have to go far from Leeds to do it - Penygent, Whernside and Ingleborough were still capped with some late snow.
Don't forget the cricket match that was stopped because of an inch of snow falling...and that was 2nd June (1975)

You've been getting out and about
Have you been taking -Katie?- the dog?
Well, not this time. Kati(e) has been rather a naughty girl and bit off more than she could chew when she fell into a plunge pool at a waterfall the other night, much to the alarm of my daughter. She got a bit close to the edge and toppled into deep water before she managed to swim towards a half submerged branch which was too slippy to cling to. I managed to fish her out by grabbing her collar but with drops like the picture below you'll understand why she wasn't allowed to come with me (if you look closely you can just see the road through Glencoe which maybe gives you an idea of the scale).
Just went out on my bike today.

Great Pictures Renard . There's an old saying (it might be a Fife thing) 'Dinnae cast a cloot till May's oot', translation don't get rid of any extra clothes before the end of May as temperatures can still suddenly plummet.
