Even when the weather is not what you would normally choose there are some fabulous moody evenings when the mist settles on St Mary’s Loch and surrounding hills.

I read that ospreys have been returning in other places but today is the first time this year that I saw one on our side of the loch.
Mr and Mrs Pheasant came out today to enjoy the sunshine.

On top of the hill … no, not the distant sheep … good grief it’s blue sky! Yippee, signs of spring at last!

Delighted to see some sailing on St Mary’s loch today.

Our first guests have just left after a long weekend at the Half House. Despite dubious weather this Easter they told us they had a great time! Many thanks for the card, it’s now on our mantlepiece – glad you liked the shortbread too!
