An afternoon’s walk with Ruth at Silvermine Nature Reserve.

Lunch at the farm with the whole family and the new puppy.

We spent Christmas with my Grandmother in Melrose and Yetholm in Scotland.

After the collosal rain the night before, we woke up to a day that looked to actually be quite good weather. So we got straight to it and got on the ferry heading west over Loch Linnhe.

We left from Melrose early in the morning and entered the Highlands from the bottom of Loch Lomond. The route took us past Inveraray and Oban and up to Ballachulish which we used as our base for the trip.

There are plenty of castles everywhere and the countryside is just so green!
