Finally managed to get a pic onto my blog. Seemed to fail every time I tried before. This was taken when we looked round the cottages at Ardpatrick on the way to the little deserted beach - except for the sheep and a seal who popped his head out of the water next to us one day!

At the beach we sunbathed, sat in the rain, watched the Islay ferry go past, paddled and collected mussels for supper, saw hermit crabs in the water and ate strawberries.
