It was a grey vista over the loch as we woke for our last day.
The little ones rose early to leave about 9am for their loooooong journey home. They called in at the Falkirk Wheel on the way, where the sun was shining!
A boat in the wheel
There it is again
Food and a boat!
The Falkirk Wheel in the sunshine
Meanwhile, in Loch Etive, I was giving the house a once over in the rain.
After lunch the rain stopped, the sun came out, and it was glorious again. We decided to take the rubbish and recycling the two miles to the bin in the car, then go down to the loch from the wobbly bridge. We thought about walking along the river but the way was guarded by a huge herd of cows and a bull, so we went via road. We could see across to Taynuilt’s top pier, which was heaving with people and canoeists. We could also almost touch the spongey hill that Ian climbed up on our ill fated first expedition. Misty had a swim.

Looking over at the spongey hill. Our expedition floundered within touching distance of where we wanted to be!
Meanwhile, in Gretna Green
The weather stayed dry, and the reflection of the mountains in the loch was stunning
The little ones all arrived home safely, Kathy being the last, arriving in Whiteley at 23:17.
Despite not seeing the northern lights we had a fabulous holiday, now I can’t wait to get back to work!
