On a Walk to New Orleans

9.9C Mostly bright with cloud around. Sunny spells. Light NNW/NW/WNW breeze.

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who stopped by yesterday to leave a kind comment or sprinkle a star or a heart. We very much appreciate your kind thoughts. I took some time this morning to go through my journal and tag some pictures "MaevetheDeerhound" so I can have her blip life close to hand when I might need it.

The downstairs rooms in our house feel very empty.

After lunch I went for a walk. I went round past the harbour and along by the ferry terminal and followed the shore side of the park and on out Kilkerran road past the Goldsmith's house and studio to the NATO refuelling jetty at Glenramskill and then kept going until I reached the 70 mile marker (or 30 miles if coming the other way) on the Kintyre Way which is out past the Doirlinn, round Kildalloig Bay past Davaar House and along the road to Ballimenach and almost to New Orleans. When I was out there the brighter light was over the Kilbrannan sound and Arran.

There were lots of little lambs in the fields out past the Doirlinn. I saw some seals out in the water near Ballimenach, and there were Gannets diving near the shore although the tide was quite low.

I turned at the marker and came back the same way but went along the street side of the park and came back home through town past the town hall; and the bookshop (The Old Bookshelf) which was open.
