Always enjoy that. My old boxer would have been picking up all those huge branches and dragging them along until he would get them wedged and then he would tug and pull at them until they broke free, when he would be all pleased with himself, and proudly trot on with whatever remained of the branch! 
Couldn't help myself The loch looked amazing...the water had turned a deep slate-green and was covered in white horses, as the wind whipped it up...looked more like the Atlantic Ocean! Every time a wave hit the jetty it would judder really badly and I thought.... "Hope I can still swim!!!" 
The swallows were having the time of their lives too....They were flitting in and out of the corner of the wood and flying into the wind (no doubt catching flies), before hitting the full force of the wind as it came around the corner, resulting in them being flipped back around and blown about 100mph back the way they had come! I went and stood right underneath them, and could see them in all their beautiful detail. Such pretty and elegant birds 
Thawed out, to my pretend wood-burning stove, and watched a rom-com called "Catch and Release". I must admit, that I only initially watched it as I have a silly school-girl crush on Timothy Olyphant 
, but actually the film turned out to be a little gem of film. I was crying and laughing my way through the entire movie... another wonderful character-led story from the creator of Erin Brockovich. Have just been out in the garden to tie everything down that's moveable!! 
and 
in Dunkeld too, which is always welcome Anyway, last night I came across a lovely story of a white boxer who was playing with his ball in the sea. 
His tennis ball was bobbing about in the water and he was just about to retrieve it, when up popped a young seal!! The dog was so shocked 
at the site of this strange little creature that he paddled closer to have a sniff and try and figure out what it was. Boxers are like that....they have a very inquisitive nature, but in my experience, they are not vicious at all to other animals. However, the seal had other ideas, and wacked the boxer around the nose with his flipper!!!!! A passing walker happened to have her camera with her and captured some great close-up photos of these two unlikely playmates!! was used to boat trips out to remote places, but even he was looking pretty miserable on that boat!! Due to the high swell, nobody could stand up on that trip, and he went from person to person trying to wedge himself in between people’s feet to stop himself sliding across the floor! When we finally reached Skerryvore it was an amazing site. It is thought by many to be the world’s most graceful lighthouse, rising up out of the ocean to 156’. Our little boat couldn’t go too near as the swell was so rough and the jagged rocks seemed to be everywhere. Suprisingly….no bird life at all except for the silhouette of a few lone shags, standing on the rocks with their black wings outstretched in the wind. Quite a strange sensation really….. very awe inspiring but at the same time, quite eerie. and islands I could be here all night so I’ll shut up now!! 
PS. There is no better feeling than being dropped off by a wee boat onto an uninhabited island, with only the promise of the skipper that he will come back in 3 hours and pick you up!!!!! 
Tough but softly spoken, Givens enforces his own personal brand of justice that's as at conflict with American law as it is with the criminals. After shooting a gun thug in a Miami hotel and incurring the wrath of his superiors, Givens is sent - as punishment or by fate - to his Kentucky hometown, where his ex-wife is shacked up with somebody new, his former best friend is a murderous white supremacist, and nobody ever offers him some southern hospitality”…… It’s a bit like Midsommer Murders, but with crazed hillbillies around every corner and a very handsome US Marshal who can draw his gun quicker than you can say Dirty Harry.
