Girded up me loins.

Weather still foul.  I was going out.

First a bit of a shock this morning.  The internet went off and a message came up saying we had used it all up!  Recently we changed from BT to EE.  Our broadband with BT was very low speed, frequently went off in the wind or rain.  The box to which they will eventually install fibre thing is 4 miles away so highly unlikely our broadband would ever be connected and improve.  EE do it from their mobile phone mast.  The difference has been amazing.  Never goes off and is speedy.  But - we had arranged for a package and the megabytes had all been used up.  Quick/long phone call and we are all singing and dancing again, and it is still cheaper than BT.

Once that was sorted I was off out.



Through the open window of the car.




Whipped up waves.


Looking through the murk.




Bit of computer enhancement.  And I got my enhancement of the lungs via the sea air.



Back home.  The DP had laid the fire.  I lit it.  Then just sat and watched the rain, the wind.  Awesome.







Nice to have a cheery bit of colour.  The Geraniums are in to overwinter.

The DP was away this afternoon viewing Pittendrum House.



It ticks all the boxes so we will be booking this for next April for our kids and their kids.  Bit further away than the other one but that sleeps 30+ so this one is more in our price range!

Sun tomorrow.  Yes!

Has been dreadful up here at the cottage in Scotland - luckily we have missed the worst of it as we came up today - but a couple from the village are missing at the moment presumed swept out to sea.
Stay safe up there when you venture out.

That's a lot of rain! Lucky it wasn't snow or you'd be snowed in.

So sorry your weather is so.....intense! Geraniums certainly do a lot to brighten the dark days. But they are light driven, so you all will need some sun soon!

What fun to imagine staying in that house with your family this spring, or perhaps finding a different one that will be equally nice.
