Day 1842 roadtrip to Pitlochry via Kilmarnock!

I was still shattered when I woke this morning….

I was straight up and out with the dogs. It was a lovely morning and we met Rachel two doors down and walked with her and Nacho.

I was tired and grumpy and having a good chat and a walk really helped my mood.

I can help everyone else when they’re feeling a bit out of sorts but when I’ve got a lot to do I just lose myself in the anxious mess…. I didn’t even have a lot to do this morning, I just couldn’t think straight to do it.

Back home and showered I started to pack for Pitlochry.

I’m staying with my friend Linda from University.

I set off at 10.30am headed for Craig’s house in Kilmarnock that we’re putting up for sale. I was meeting the estate agent. I was down there for a few hours before I set off for Pitlochry.

Linda was finishing work at 4pm and I am not kidding. I drove into her drive at 4pm…. On the dot, without even really trying 😆

It’s now 8.15 and we are still talking….. so this is a quick one.

This is at the bottom of Linda’s back garden.

This is the sunset from last night! our weather is not to be as good as this over the weekend.

We managed to get a lovely twilight walk around the Pitlochry Dam,, across the top, down past the Fish Ladder and down the front of the Pitlochry Festival Theatre. 🎭

The view from Pitlochry dam.

Loch Faskally.

On the dam.

The fish ladder was built to allow the Salmon to swim up a large tube from the River Tummel into Loch Faskally to spawn. They then swim back down the ladder to the river with their babies.

I have never seen a salmon on the ladder and Linda reckons she has seen one in her lifetime of living here but apparently.

Down past the pretty Festival Theatre.

The buildings round about are so pretty.

We walked over the Port-na-Craig Suspension Bridge otherwise known as the green wobbly bridge and boy…. Did it wobble 😆😆😆

The reflections are beautiful on the River Tummel.

A lovely end to a lovely day!

So good to reconnect!

Stay safe everyone 😘🫶🏼♥️
