Today, the last day of the summer holiday for me, we went along for a walk around John Muir Country Park.

After meeting Gabi, Carsten and the rest of their German family in Mas Manyaques, France while on holiday there in July 2008, we were delighted to meet up with them again this year, when they spent two weeks in Aberfeldy. My parents and us all travelled up to meet them and spend the day with them, after Alina had stayed overnight with us a couple of weeks earlier, while the rest of the family stayed in a B&B in Dunbar. It was a lovely day out in Aberfeldy, enjoyed by all!

What a view from the top!

There are 16 locks on the Crinan Canal, which were all being well used as we cycled along!

The picturesque village of Crinan!

Paradise- cycling along this stretch of the canal.

This was a lovely day out, starting with a drive to Oban, about 45 minutes away. We waited for the ferry to take us to Mull.

I know - it has been a while! I've been lazy, on holiday, and latterly, over the past couple of weeks, we haven't had a camera at all, as our trusty Sony Cybershot gave up the ghost and refused to work at all.
So, I finally got round to buying a new camera- a Panasonic Lumix, which arrived today. Here are a few pictures from around the house, mostly close ups, to see how it performs. Try clicking on them for bigger versions. I still haven't added our holiday photos from 3/4 weeks ago- I'll try to get round to it soon- I promise!
Who's been eating chocolate, Olivia?

Lots of detail in the face- this camera seems to take nice pictures!
