Mother and baby Highland cattle

The stay with Bella and David has done us the world of good. I slept so well last night (in the same bed that was previously at the top of their old croft house on the Isle of Harris).

After breakfast, David put up a washing line. Meanwhile Bella, Mr hazelh and I settled down to a couple of games of Catan. I was beaten twice!

Mr hazelh and I jumped back onto our bikes after lunch for the short ride back to Carstairs and the return train to Edinburgh. It's been another beautiful day, as can be seen in the blip of the sunbathing Highland cattle and the Upper Clydesdale countryside in my extra. It was also very warm in Edinburgh - so much so that we sat in our front area this evening and ate our supper outside.

Exercise today: ~10 miles of cycling.
