Blooming Blossom

The May blossom trees are in full bloom - a little earlier than their name suggests. We went to the small store at Drumblair for some of their fresh free range eggs they get from a farm at Nairn - tasty orange yolk and worth the trip, and I actually remembered to take an empty egg box this time. The blossom trees lining the lane were blowing gently in the breeze and the petals of the flowers were flying about like confetti at a wedding.
We have had beautiful weather for the last few days with a cloudless blue sky and reaching about 19C by the afternoon but dropping to a chilly 4c at night.
Went to Rocpool Reserve Restaurant for lunch yesterday and sat on the outside terrace overlooking the city of Inverness with a glass of chilled white wine perusing the new Spring menu. Needed to wear sunglasses as it was so bright and managed to get a tan just sitting there. Enjoyed a very pleasant relaxing lunch and this is one restaurant we can thoroughly recommend to our guests. Back at home we sat admiring the panoramic view over Loch Ness and didn't want the day to end.
