Driving off on a single track road one morning – to see where it ends. Trees ‘marry’ when they meet over the road. It’s a lovely day for it.
We heard from locals in Glenelg that the views across to Skye are great from there. And there was a tea-house where we could stop before the return journey.
There was only a straggle of cottages along the bay. Some older that the rest. But where was the Tea shop? A local directed us to the last house.
It was cool in the shade so the wood stove was lit inside. It was snugly filled with armchairs and one big table. After cakes and an enormous pot of tea, I wandered past ruins, towards the loch.
… and met the happiest of hens.

Happy highland hens
They had a play-mate who bounded up and pranced among them.
She was a bit bemused when I told her she’s put them off the lay.
The end of the road in Glen Arnisdale. Time to turn around wistfully … and drive back to Glenelg in time for a great lunch in the garden.
Another perfect Autumn day.

The West Coast in particular is great on the eye, Draco. I like the change of seasons so March-April for Spring and August-September for Autumn … any sunny day.
