Our view from here is straight across to Arran. The island they call the sleeping warrior because of its profile from a distance. We can't believe that a week ago yesterday we arrived on the island. It is said, 'time waits for no man', that's certainly true. Once again the rain returned during the night. After six weeks we've come to expect it. But as forecast, around eleven, the sun crept out and decided to stay. Today we needed to find a shower, so headed to Rothesay to the leisure centre. They always deliver, and this one certainly did. A large wet room with two showers, so we doubled up. Rothesay is the 'big' town, for some reason it has two co-op's near to each other. Us clean, the shopping done, we headed to the nearby Ardencraig Victorian Gardens.
Now the councils show garden. It was stunning and tranquil, with views back towards the mainland. The birds in the aviary singing and tweeting and the gentle tumbling water flowing over the rocks into the lily pond added to the magic. For some reason the garden isn't widely advertised. It should be, and a donation box in place along with the reopening of the cafe.
Tomorrow wet weather is forecast again, so we will return to Rothesay. The nearest overnight stop is Ettrick Bay, so we're now settled here for another night.
John was tired, so Angela walked out along the beach, the wind blowing hard, made her teeth ache. But the sun was out, and that was a plus. What should we expect of the weather? It's only July 1st for goodness sake!
