Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

Lambs are appearing in the fields around Loch Ness, prancing about as if on springs. They go about in gangs and look as if they are thoroughly enjoying life with not a care in the world. Their mothers however are very protective and always keep a watchful eye on anybody getting too close to their offspring.

The verges are full of clumps of wild primroses and suddenly everywhere seems to be a mass of yellow flowers with wild gorse lining all the lanes and daffodils appearing in gardens everywhere.
