The forecast said it was going to be a bit rough, with snow and winds expected so I insisted we set off early. We stayed The Argyll Hotel in Inveraray on the way up having got over the main altitude passes (snow and sleat, but no real issues)
We arrived later the next day after a rough crossing. We were okay but a few passengers didn't look so good and some paper sacks were evident....
Over to the village on the edge of the Loch. The wind is high, the sea sounds busy, but it's too dark now to see what's what really.
Woke up to this view! Conservatory overlooking (read almost in) Loch Indaal.
Thought I'd better get on with some work, I needed to get this blog up to date, what a cracking view! - this would make a great office if you could just make yourself work, talk about window gazing!
But the weather then just closed in. Glad we were warm as toast inside :)
The next morning the sea was very rough outside. Here's an early morning video...
And later here's the view from the back door...
Soon the weather cleared and we wandered out into the gales.
OK Rock, almost covered! Al says this bit of rock is famous fro being painted like this, goes back since the olden days or something... anyway he says to put this link in so you know what it's about !

Anyway, a bit further down the village is the pier. It was supposed to be fixed years ago and made longer. Al's sister raised some money for this to be fixed, a few pounds anyway, must still be in a fund somewhere!
So back to the cottage just as the rain started again. The RAYBURN is going well so I'd thought I'd make some scones and flapjacks. Al said "this takes me back.... "
