Jan 10th: Today was grey and gloomy but still pleasantly warm. Our next door neighbours were having a party in their garden in the afternoon to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary so we spent some pleasant time with them and their friends and family. Just before tea-time we drove to the eastern shores of Lake Aviemore. Hundreds of people put their caravans and tents there for the whole summer season and go back and forth. Sometimes it is very busy and other times quite quiet. There is no electricity there, no mobile phone coverage, no radio, no tv but there are now toilet blocks there and they are of the flushing variety, rather than the 'long drop'. This shot is of our motorhome with its solar panel outside to power the fridge. Steve bought me the solar panel for Christmas (how romantic) and we had plenty of hot weather and plenty of cold drinks this weekend. In the background is the boat ramp and a small harbour where we launch our boat from.
