Last year at this time, the weather turned warm and sunny after a long spell of wet and windy days. The summer had seemed over but a for few days it came back again and I was able to take advantage of this and head off to Arran for a glorious week’s camping.

According to the weather forecast, it looks as though we’re getting a similar short spell of weather, just a week later. I would have been over the moon if I could have planned a trip for even a few days away but pre-arranged commitments have precluded that. So I’m going to have to enjoy the warm weather in other ways, hopefully getting out on my bike for a few hours at a time. After the poor summer we’ve had it’s disappointing but that will need to do me.
