Today for a change, Richie and I took the canoe out on the Clyde. Just a short paddle over to Rosneath from Helensburgh and back. Stopped a while on the remote shore at Rosneath point. Saw lots of bird life and a seal at Green Island just off the point.

In between the sea and the sky is Ardmore Point

And finally in today’s photos, this is Richie’s cock:

I’m not one for canoeing, the wet, the cold, the drowning, all put me off. However the sights you see are fab! I miss that sort of thing here.
Neither of us drowned, nor were we wet or cold – It’s great oot there!
