Weather Report..................

Got as far as Portmahomack last night on our trip up the far NE coast of Scotland, where it was dry but very cold at 4deg and windy. Took one look at the forecast for next week and have now cut and run to the West coast where hopefully we may avoid the snow. Now near Port Appin where we arrived an hour or so back with full sun and 10deg
 
Shock...!
The weather forecast was right, ( almost).
They forecast 3 hours of light rain, starting at the usual time of 3am.
We've had nothing substantial, since Xmas.


They got the day right , but the drizzle arrived at 10 am.
Most unusual for me to have to go out in daylight hours to connect up our water cisterns.

The drizzle was too feeble to wash the accumulated muck off the roof, it was 30 minutes before the flow was running clear enough to use.
15 minutes of powerful rain, put a week's water into the tanks.
Then it stopped and the sun broke through.
My raincoat and cap have stored nearly as much water.

We could see the oranges swelling and have had to pick the ripest ones.
Anyone for Marmalade ?IMG_20230305_140854~2.jpg
 
Lovely sunny and warm (11deg) here across the Atlantic on Seil Island. Well I assume it is across the Atlantic as we crossed the “bridge over the Atlantic” to get here. Mind you everybody seems to speak with a strong Scottish accent still!
