A leisurely brunch was followed by a drive to Stranraer for supplies. Rain when we got there, followed by snow and hail on the way out.
We decided to drive down the Mull of Galloway to the lighthouse - the
most southerly point of Scotland ( we had been to the most northerly point at Dunnet Head last summer). It is actually as far south as Workington!
A lovely drive and the sun was back out again. It was very very windy when we reached the end!
We walked the circular path around the Mull taking in the spectacular views across to the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland, and also catching a glimpse of the snow topped Cumbrian mountains! The Mull of Kintyre was also visible in the north, but the mist wasn't rolling in from the sea ;) No bagpipes :)
After we got back to the van we warmed up with some hot chocolate and then drove back to Ardwell, where we stopped at the picnic area by the beach for some late lunch and more hot chocolate.
We then took Molly and Oscar onto the beach and decided to let Oscar off his lead in public for the first time - eek! There was nobody else on this lovely beach :)
They were both really good and had a great time charging round on the beach. Oscar soon learnt to come when called - tasty treats are a great incentive!
Then back to the cottage for a well earned supper. There were some spectacular skyscapes on the way - obviously some rain somewhere!
A lovely day and both well relaxed :)
