Trip to Oban.
Posted: Thursday, 06 May 2004 |
Sorry no blogs forthcoming lately - I wen't on a short trip to Oban - monday - back tuesday evening.(For me getting back into kelter takes a while.)
For the outward journey we had a good day - sunny but windy,and I enjoyed being on the upper deck of the " Isle of Arran " as she made her way to Coll and into the sound of Mull.
At one time, the bar was the main attraction for me on the ferry, but not so these days. For the first time ever, I had my binoculars by my side,and talk about seeing all with the scales taken from your eyes:-
Arinagour was more beautiful than I have ever witnessed it before - lovely white - washed houses,two churches brought into focus as never experienced,and a shelterd anchorage.
And so the journey continued contunied past Ardnamurchan, and tobermory beautifully renewed to my attention, and the happy event of the "games day" remembered.
And so it was all the way, I saw into every noock and cranny of every rock, cliff and hillside.And joy of joy, Duart Castle,my clan seat jumped at me from its rocky promontory. Athough I have never been there, I was pretty close this time.
It looks as if I must stop now for lack of writing space. Good Luck.
