Somehow it all changed when we got to Arran. Actually, it changed when we got to Clare's in Dumfriesshire and Mark joined us, mainly because that meant that Jan could pop off and do her own thing without feeling guilty at leaving me behind.
But, by the time we rejoined Jan at Broderick ferry terminal on Arran, the journey had definitely changed gear. Devon was lovely and Herefordshire had some undiscovered charms, but Scotland is in a league unto itself - especially when the sun shines, as it has done today. Whether we were taking the ferry from Arran to Kintyre, cycling along sea lochs or just struggling up massive hills, it's all been breath-takingly beautiful.
We had a brilliant al fresco seafood supper on the CalMac pier at Oban this evening. As we wandered back along the seafront to find a much needed bit of alcohol, we became aware that a class A, Hollywood-style sunset was taking place - a magical end to a marvellous day.



Photos look beautiful. Must make it so much easier now - lovely weather and scenery. Long may they both last.
