Erskine Waterfront


For a wee change, went up to Erskine to grab some photos of passing vessels. The slip is the one used by the former Erskine Ferry - and that takes me back very many years.

Great day for some local photographs


With the sun shining brightly, a bit of a rise in the temperature, and the snow still on the hills, headed up to get some shots before it all disappears.

Still Snow - Whinhill Golf Course


A week on, and although the snow has by and large melted - it persists at the golf course.

 Still too deep to play

Picturesque - but unplayable

Langbank Walk


Walked Misty today, with Fraser and his girlfriend Bethany.

Nice day, and felt like spring - though we'll not be fooled this early on.

What a difference ...........


Now I can't believe this is what it's like in the field behind my house while walking the dog. 

Stark contrast to the golf course - where I can't see the grass for deep snow - and only 7 miles away. Talk about micro climates ...........

Wrong Decision

Well, being such a lovely morning, and nice and clear in Langbank, I ventured up to the Whinhill golf course in Greenock.

Wrong decision this morning, even the road beyond was closed due to snow.  Still, better luck next time.

 Just a bit unplayable?
