Just returned from a week’s sailing in the Stockholm Outer Archipelago. We got out to Svenska Hogarna which was pretty cool.

Winds of Force 5-6 and superb conditions meant we went all over the place…. Angarskargard, Bjorkskarskargard, Ut Fredel, Gilloga, etc. etc. Amazingly the winds were so kind that we didn’t have to tack till the 4th day.

Digi camera knackered (Sony battery life is so slow – aaargh – now proud owner of a Casio Exilim – sorry Sony), but I can assure we had sunsets like this one – every night.

Awesome.

This time in France with Charles and Ruth Simpson and their two girls at Domaine Sainte Rose. You can buy their excellent wine here. I recommend them all, the 2002 La Garrigue in particular!

More fantastic April skies below, plus some great ones of the kids Eilidh and Mhairi…

Le ciel (even more) rouge
Le ciel (the most) rouge

Eilidh helping her Dad…
…Loving her bike
… And again…
You can hear the scream!

Fantastic Easter weekend at the cottage in Glenisla. Incredible skies, some pictures below –

I took a series of pictures as a storm brewed to the South East while the sun set over Mount Blair to the West. The four views are below:
