Satnav Envy

Views around Crieff Hydro.... I imagine fairies live here.
And here.
Horses going to work in the morning.
Acer tree on the way into Crieff. (I was, not the tree!)

Another bright tree.

Loch Earn

A horse who lives at Loch Earn-and thought I was his food bringer. As soon as he saw me he rushed through the trees with a real sense of purpose. He seemed to enjoy a little attention but not as much as he would have enjoyed some food. As we were leaving a woman with buckets was seen approaching.

The beautiful view from The Knock-a steep hill near the hotel.

The sun was rising and caught the mountain.

Wet bracken.

As we sat in traffic yesterday on the very long drive back from Scotland, I caught glimpses of people's bright and friendly satnavs on their dashboards. As we were driving around Glasgow by accident yesterday morning, (it looks lovely but I didn't want to go there at that time) instead of on the way to Edinburgh, on the route we had planned, I wanted a satnav. I have gradually been coming round to the idea of owning one, having previously taken the attitude that I can read a map and who needs all this technology? I can read a map, but not when I am driving around an unfamiliar city. Andy can read a map but it is no help when there are no signs, which I often find that there are not. I did try to investigate satnavs last week but am worried that I do not seem to have a cigarette lighter point in my car which is what I am told they need to run on. Our next long journey is not for some time so maybe by then I will have acquired one and motoring will never again have to be the potential cause of strife!

Above, to counter the slightly moany tone of this post, are some photos of beautiful things from the last few days away! We had a lovely time with Andy's family.
