Squire
- Location
- Gone over the hill and far away
Done walking
Skirt?

My legs and shoulders are aching after a 58 kms hard ride with many steep hills. I was glad to be back home and won't ride for a few days now. Getting older doesn't help.
I have met Squirrel Nutkin. Quite wonderful. Headed out for a brisk walk and on my return stopped outside the lodge to do my morning stretches. I spotted a red squirrel on the road perhaps 10' away. I stood still, he/she walked down our path, stopped and sniffed my boot before wandering by. Literally 2" away. Clearly they're very tame but still a privilege to see this beautiful little creature so near. Two more dropped by in the space of ten minutes, they were shy and skirted round by 3'.

I haven't posted for a few days because we have been on a "small boat" cruise around the Isle of Mull
included Fingal's Cave and several other features close by
ALl the time living on a small boat (more like very small ship) that used to be a long range lifeboat/rescue craft
3 crew - skipper, cook/chef and 'Bosun' aka deck hand and general "do everything else" person
absolutely great holiday!!!
saw amazing scenery that can only be seen from the sea and visited a lot of deserted anchorages - and saw loads of wildlife
Only 8 passengers - max capacity! - and everyone got on well
anyway - came back last night and very glad to get back to our own bed - the cabons are quite small (i.e. very small) and, although the beds were comfortable, sleeping was a problems due to the temperature and worry about falling out!
Anyway - we will be returning!
