Meeting Judith at Penrith station, then onwards to The Waterside, where we have lunch just before getting the ferry at Ardrossan
Arran from the ferry :)
Reuniting with our beloved Dusk (the collie) ... and Barb!
Happy to be on the beautiful beach again :)
The artists of Arran had an Open Studio week; Barb, Darlene and I visited the home and Arran studio of Tim Pomeroy, sculptor
His pieces were set out amongst the forest walk behind his house.
What a place to live! I especially like the fairy dell, and the hint of autumn as I looked out to sea :)
Ladies with Scarves!
...followed by lunch 😍
Darlene's books are now for sale in The Wee Bookshop, Corrie!
My trendy white shoe/boots, which Judith thought were galoshes.
Now, let me tell you about Georgia's cookie pudding.
Made with chocolate chip cookies, chocolate, cream
and other heavenly ingredients.
There was a fair bit left in the fridge, but it suddenly disappeared overnight.
This heinous crime has yet to be solved. 😯
The gluttonous thief has never been revealed 😉
Suffice to say it's possibly the best pudding I've ever eaten.
And I have the recipe...
An evening of scary storytelling in the Cladach Beach House (with gin!)
More beautiful beach views next morning, after the rain ⛅
Swans in the sea!!
(Georgia looks as though she suspects
where the rest of the cookie pudding went....just the way she's looking at me...)
August 23 - Goodbye to Arran, Barb and Dusk
Darlene and I braved the outside whilst Georgia and Judith stayed in the warm
Goodbye to Scotland....
Many, many thanks to Barb, Georgia, Darlene, Judith and Dusk for making this another memorable and delightful week. Miss you all!! xx
