Pushing 100 here today

Not nice

Up in the outer hebrides and it is Baltic. Locals say temps are way lower than normal. It is a lovely part of the world though.

We've got some warmer weather at the moment, but apparently a front of rain will impact the North of Scotland and leave the rest of us alone.

Which Isle are you on?

 

Spectacular here and hardly budging from the 80F mark for at least the next 7 days.

On the return leg after today. Days getting shorter.

What's everyone doing for Christmas?

Going somewhere warmer and drier than the UK! 

Going somewhere cooler and damper than Perth!

Lovely morning, the beer garden will be calling my name after my practice exam

Stop it. Now.

Thank God we’re due some nice weather finally 🙏

We’ll head off somewhere on Sunday for a few days.

Glorious weather at Warwickshire Police HQ today. All set up and I get to enjoy the sun.

Top effort. 

At some point I'd like to do similar.

Already booked a place for next year in the Highlands (further north than I've been before) but I'd like to visit these islands- and the inner ones too!

3k hike to this today . Can't get to it by car.

Did Islay first then Barra then worked our way north through  south/north uist  then Harris/Lewis. Ferry to Skye Saturday evening then home Sunday. 14 nights but thats not enough I could spend months here.

Lovely.

That your dog?

Nice walk up on Smithills Moor, Deane Mills Reservoir then up to the mast. Those maintenance blokes half way up deserve every penny they get.  Lovely day.

13!

He's doing bloody well.

Our 3 collies are a bloody handful to be honest, so finding off-lead walks can be tricky.

All 3 on the lead together are impossible. 

Then finding a cottage to take 3 can be difficult. 

It was sunny here yesterday... and like an idiot I worked with some freshly dipped creosoted timber rails... creosote and sunlight... look it up... I said to my mate I look like Homer Simpson when he opened that door and looked into the nuclear reactor.... red faced today
