It's snowy on the tops

As it was Mr M's day off yesterday we headed out for the afternoon - another dry day and ever so slightly mild. Although we have had negligible amounts of snow at the house this year, the hill tops have had a phenomenal amount.

This statement made half an hour into our car journey supplied my better half with endless mirth for the rest of the day. Yes, I know it's a lot colder up there at 3000ft - but it looks like there's too much! Wouldn't it be better to share some of it with the rest of us down here at sea level?

Glencoe looks amazing (far too much snow up at the top!!) - we parked below the Ballachulish Bridge and I scurried back up the steps onto the bridge to take some photos. Up on the bridge is a memorial to James Stewart - James of the Glens - Robert Louis Stevenson's "Kidnapped" which is set round the infamous Appin murder, is a brilliant and favourite book and I just love the 1960's film with Michael Caine in the role of Allan Breck - it's cheesily good.

We stopped to have some late lunch at the View Cafe at Castle Stalker - we succumbed to large portions of homemade apple pie and ice cream. It goes without saying that the views of the castle are great and there was some very jolly knitted bunting round the windows.

Back to work today........
