Awwwwwww I’m home and it’s lovely to be home and see the puppers… and Craig…. But I will miss my lovely campsite and my evening swim.

I had such a lovely evening last night. I swam with another lady last night as my swim buddy, Sue, left during the day. Lynsey and I were in the sea for over an hour.

I love how women just get together for things like this and look out for each other.

It was cloudy but still hot and the sea was a bit colder than it had been the first night.

We stayed in for well over an hour.

It was absolutely glorious…. Not a single thing in the water, no jellyfish in sight just swimming and bobbing around and chatting.

Heaven.

I sat outside until 10.30pm. I was really enjoying being outside reading and crocheting.. not all at the same time. It was 8pm by the time I got out of the sea and I was starving.

This is sunrise taken at 5.30am… it’s the longest day today.

I slept really well… a dog barked at 4.30 and woke me though! Just like being home.

I had a huge dilemma as I was going to stay for one more night which was agreed with the campsite. The forecast was for rain overnight and in the morning when I would be packing up.

My tent isn’t really built for rain… I decided to head home as planned so I could pack up in the sunshine.

But first things first…. Photos and another 50 minute swim!!

The sea was cold but lovely and you soon get used to it.

I only take my phone in at the very end. We swam really far this morning and I loved every minute of it. I feel so alive in the sea.

It took a wee minute to heat back up and 2 decaf coffees!

I sat with my crochet blanket over my feet for a bit.

There were two jet skis on the campsite. They both went out last night. This is one of them heading out this morning.

So I sat in the morning heat and over the space of 4 hours I gradually packed myself away.

I was so sad to be leaving as you all know I’d had the best time. It was everything I needed it to be.

It passed so quickly but I feel very refreshed and will really miss my evening swim tonight!

I decided to come home a different way and make a day of it….. yet at the last minute I picked a shortcut…… 30 miles of the National Cycle Route through the Galloway Forest.

Single track road.

Concentration much!!

The scenery was stunning but I could only get two photos from this lay-by.

I ended up home for 2.30pm which gave me time to get all the camping stuff away and to get out in the garden with the gang.

Temperatures have hit 25°C today.

It’s good to me with more very precious memories in the bank.

Have a lovely Saturday!

Stay safe everyone ☀️☀️☀️
