Hi,

Morning has broken........ well, well... the sun is up, light cloud and no wind, where am i?

"Drumroanin Camp Site"   the voice from Heaven says. 

Having breakfast, Mike brought as requested stronger tent pegs. About to start replacing the slim pegs with these stronger ones in anticipation of the BBC Weather forecast for later today.

Remember it is a beautiful morning here....

Cheers

Adrian

Cheers Mike. I like the connection that James Robertson Justice had with the area. Seems a bit of a scallywag who did not pay his debts.

 

Now there is a name from the past.......distant past!

Hi Jamie,

There is wind here, but the heavy rain of mid-afternoon as vanished. the weather should not stop you doing things, so Hadyn, Cristina and myself went up to the bird hide at Wigton Harbour, it had stopped raining there.

We saw Mute Swans, Little Egrets, Widgen, Sholver Ducks,  Shelducks, a Merlin on a post and loads of Pink foot Geese. It was very windy at the hide.

It is getting dark now and we are preparing for Doris....

Doing tea will be fun with my fillet steak... standards  have to be maintained at all costs!

Julian must be sound asleep and dreaming of 10Micron!

Have a safe trip.

Cheers

Adrian
