Friday 11th October 2013







Another beautiful day. Sunny all day.
Today we leave the Castle for three days in Culloden staying at the Dromossie Hotel.
With Kerry working today and Barbara staying in for the Gas Man we decided to take a cruise on Loch Ness. Started the day with coffee at Drumnadrochit and look round the local farm shops. Booked the cruise for 2pm leaving time for a short walk round Drum'. Mini bus dully picked us up from the car park for the short drive to the landing stage. With full sun, calm water, what could be improved for this afternoon cruise. It was brilliant, interesting to see Urquhart Castle from the Loch, magnificent view. Forgot the Loch was where the speed record was broken by John Cobb and also of course where he met his untimely death.
Once cruise over it was time for afternoon tea at the Loch Ness exhibition centre. The exhibition was of interest as I had always thought Nessie was just a figure of imagination, how wrong can you be.
It was now time to pick up Kerry for an evening meal at The Snow Goose in Inverness with Barbara, Sarah, Lauren, Nathan and David. A good family gathering, meant a lot to me and hopefully we can achieve such an evening again when we visit again in May. I appreciate the youngsters making it tonight as I am sure they would have been doing other things on a Friday night, good on ya kids.
