A lovely blustery walk at Loch Morlich, and a different circuit to usual investigating what the beavers 🦫 have been up to along the river banks. Oh, and cake 🍰 at the boathouse cafe ❤️🐾

We explored Tarragona and the Costa Daurada on this recent roadtrip (always a roadtrip because Jammy comes too ❤️🐾) and it unintentionally kind of became a w**e tour, from starting off visiting friends in Provence and the rosés of Ventoux, to the rich, almost black, stony-mineral reds of the Priorat in their almost vertical vineyards, where w**e and everything w**e was a way of life and all around you, ending up in Beaujolais on the way home 🍷😊 apart from all that, a lot of beautiful beaches, early morning paddleboarding, all the Roman history and colour of Tarragona itself, and some gorgeous campsites for our home on wheels. Porrera and Cornudella de Monstant were like stepping back in time, and visiting them inland on one of the few damp days was perfect. First time ever being bothered by the mosquitos though, the Tiger ones are the wee buggers that bite during the day too, are smaller, more viscous, and as they don't normally fly above a metre they love ankles and calves, turns out mine are more appealing than Rod's hairy legs so I was the sacrificial anode in the family 🙄 (or maybe I just stayed out too late drinking w**e... 😉😁) ❤️🇪🇸

A kingfisher did a fly-by in an iridescent flash of turquoise, and I was quietly watched by a wee deer whilst fly fishing the River Spey for salmon as the sun came up in Newtonmore.
