7 days and counting

Next Monday we'll be leaving Holland. We is I and my 11 year old son Gillean. Our ferry leaves IJmuiden on the third of May at 6 o'clock in the evening. On Tuesday we'll arrive in Newcastle and drive to Shiel Bridge to spend the night in Ratagan YH. The next day we continue driving all the way to Glen Brittle, Skye, and hopefully do some good walking in the Black Cuillin. We'll be there for 5 days after which we'll move onto Glencoe for two days and after that another two days at Loch Lomond YH. The Cobbler will be our main hill over there. The longterm weatherforecast says 'unsettled', so everything is normal.

Have you noticed ....

.... this colour in the sky ? Without any condensation stripes from aeroplanes at all !
No noise from planes on a sunny day. Incredible. I live roughly 30km from Schiphol Airport where 45 thousend people arrive or leave (or do both) every day.
Thank you Volcano !

All dressed up ...

Just to show my favourite shade of green.
