Fear not - this blog has not been hit by a general malaise and neither have its authors been abducted by aliens. In fact, we've been away gathering new material for the blog or, in other words, having a holiday. For the last two years we've stayed in Scotland and been relatively lucky with the weather. Last week we were in Fort William (at this house which is here) and our luck ran out; it rained every day except two and was generally dreich for most of the time. We still had a lot of fun and took full advantage of the few spells of nice weather. I'll add more details and photos later but for now please enjoy the views from Dalaraban House:
The picture above is our view of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Scotland. Most of the time, it was shrouded in (or completely obscured by) cloud so this was a rare glimpse of the summit.
This autostitch panorama shows the view looking over Loch Linnhe. The hill on the left is Meall an t-Slamain. The towns of Corpach and Caol occupy the centre and Cow Hill is the one on the far right with the communications mast.

Sorry about the crap weather. Did the Shewee get tested?
No need to apologise - as far as I'm aware, it wasn't your fault. Although, considering the size of your carbon footprint, maybe it was.
Sadly, the SheWee did not get tested; Nevis was pretty crowded and there aren't too many places offering even a modicum of privacy.
That's a bit harsh Iain! You can't blame Ian for the crap weather in F-W. I am definatley going to France next year though cos I am fed up with the rain. It's also pouring here and my washing is out on the line getting wetter than ever.
The SheWee got taken up the mountain but was unused cos as Iain said it was very busy and I'm too shy. It was busier than F-W high street! It's also barren so no trees to hide behind! I'm going to take it to the festival we're going to on the 31st so I don't have to sit on the portaloos though. I have a vivid memory of overflowing portaloos at Glastonbury 95...
I'll happily take the blame, don't worry about it. I'm a martyr like that.
Ah yes...portaloos. That seems like prime SheWee territory.
