Has spring sprung?

Hi all, woke up today looked out and it is beautiful, for the first time in ages there was heat in the sun, had a rare day off, got my quad fixed for launching boat, sea like glass, then I remembered my rib was still getting rewired Still hopefully the good days are around the corner!!

Sadly, no Daffs in my garden for St.Davids Day yesterday

Is a cracking day here today though....I am SO sick with jealousy at that view!

Its not like me, but she has spent the winter indoors this year to give her a well deserved rest! Will be back in action late March so will no doubt see you in the "usual place"!!

Willk, nice pic of the Mull in the background! A familiar site to us. You based in Redbay? Have we met??

Spring sure hasn't sprung up here............. but hey, who wants spring with snow like this? Guess the boat might just have to wait a few weeks. One of the great things about being self employed is when the weather is good and the snow's good.............

Willk why could you not have tuned a little more to the s/west and you could have had Girvan hills in your wake shot, cos it was nice here too, but unfortunately I was not as the rib is wintering at tayvallich.

Aye, nice day all round. No, North West, was over collecting the wee lady from Annual Service. Doubt not, but doubtlessly will

As we came down the Glen, we got a stunning view of Paddie's Milestone/Ailsa Craig. Tom was kind (kind of foolish) enough to lend us a fully gassed up 8.4 Exp for a spin.

We were sorely tempted...
