This may look like Emma is about to deliver a fascinating presentation about life as a cutting-edge designer, but it is in fact the high point of her wet weekend, atop Ben Lomond (974m) earlier this afternoon. We saw two huge birds circling the cairn in the mist as we completed our Sunday jaunt. We didn't see much else, what with being in the middle of a cloud. Emma assures me you can see lots of other hills and stuff on a nice day, and sometimes crazy men in vests...
Emma is clearly overjoyed to have rekindled fond childhood memories, I'm clearly concentrating on taking the picture, and Kippen is clearly not keen to be seen. Perhaps she's hiding from the circling birds of prey.
Back to sea level, and here's Emma making friends with a horsey on Saturday beside the beach at Troon. He wasn't very friendly, instead concentrating on his task of advertising tools and timber. Even when the heavens opened after our nice walk on the beach, he didn't budge an inch, or even blink. Mr Horsey gets top marks for dedication to duty in the face of inclement weather and the attention of Emma and the ever-curious Kippen.
So, two rainy dog walks. One by the sea, one up a hill. Here's hoping for many more damp drives home in the glorious Scottish summer of 2007! For those of you whom I haven't met, I'm Michael, and I have the privilege of being Emma's driver, and packed-lunch-carrier.

Lovely to see you two climbing the old ben lomond - brings back memories I am sure of playing on the beach at Rowardennan with friends and Bill doing the Ben Lomond race. I would like to know how you space out the photos like that - mine all bunch up at the beginning!!
