I just got back from the Highlands, and have had a weekend of the most beautiful weather you could hope for. Warm sunny days, warm enough that people went swimming in the Loch (we were the sking area!), and absolutly clear nights, to see the stars by, well away from the city lights.

There was just enough crispness in the air to remind you that it's autumn, and to make the apples taste right, but still early enough we could pick wild bilberries and bluberries. The trees are just strating to turn up there, so it will a week or two down here yet....
