I go on holiday most days of the week

[Murox]

At 22 degrees C I really do enjoy living up here away from the crowds


and in the other direction
on a busy day I might even talk to another dog walker. Can be a wee bit bleak in the winter of course or even dreich.

As a train driver I work a 35hr 4 day week. 5 day weekend every 3 weeks and Sundays are optional. Feels like a holiday most weeks but with access to the heart of Englanf so most things are on my doorstep.

I do miss pootling around from the mull of Kintyre to the sound of Islay or Jura on our patrols to Oban and beyond, had some great 'fun' anchored off various parts of Jura to be woken by the anchor watch in the early hours of the morning as the apparently sound bottom our anchor had settled in was actually a clump of kelp which decided, once the tide turned to uproot itself!!
I remember sailing into Oban harbour with our anchor still not housed as it had a ton of kelp enveloping it.

There's still plenty of kelp, but I always know when a big trawler has been around by the blankets of it covering the beach a tide or so later.

How do you put up with such crowded beaches ?

 

[Murox]

With great ease.

Staffordshire is doing its best this year to emulate Banffshire in its summer weather..
