fudge the dog with a big stick
(must admit to slight editing of this to remove a stray foot and colour boost)
minnie the horse
minnie the horse is moving to a new stable, so the girls won’t be seeing her for a while.
they pursuaded me to join them and take some photos for remembery.
you can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead. apparently.

looks better big (so click on it!)
children’s play area, more animals arriving soon
lots of interest here. it seems more animals are arriving. except they aren’t actually arriving right now, because if they were, that would be interesting and worth stopping to see.
so to make it clear, they’ve added the word “soon”, but that still implies it’s wait-able.
but then we see the children’s play area and all becomes clear. we are being advised to get our kids to enjoy the play area before it gets too busy, as more unruly kids (ie animals) will be arriving soon.
at least that’s how i interpreted it

you might have to click on this to admire it properly !
boat tour looking for dophins, sharks and whales
on the one sunny day on our scottish holiday we went on a fantastic boat trip round gairloch harbour, looking for wildlife. we were hoping to see sharks, dolphins, porpoises etc, but they weren’t about. instead we saw fantastic views out to Skye and the Outer Hebrides, as well as back in land to mountains.
we saw lots of fancy birds, and some seals (notice one in the classic banana pose)
and here is a baby seal
despite not seeing anything with fins, the trip was great. we went with the Gairloch Marine Life Centre
when we got back to shore there was a seal in the harbour doing fancy things for fish
