Arran outing

I’m blogging on the train from Ardrossan to Glasgow, having just spent a really great day on Arran. I always enjoy visiting Arran, however the gorgeous weather rendered the island even more beautiful than usual. The vivid blue of the sea, the lighter but no less bright blue of the sky, the mountains across the bay, the white sailing boats, the stately ferry, all looked extra stunning in the sunshine. Maggie met me at the harbour and we walked along to the Little Rock Cafe where we had a tasty lunch before walking along the front, chatting and laughing. We made our way to Maggie and John’s house to find John sunbathing outside and Millie relaxing in the sun room. I can hardly believe that Millie is seventeen and a half years old - the oldest dog on Arran according to the local vet. We had a lovely afternoon in the garden and then Maggie and John insisted on making me dinner before I went back on the ferry. It was a delightful crossing, with blue sea, blue island and blue sky all in different shades.
