Some honeymoon snaps.

I realise it is the cliche that every newly married couple wants to show people their honeymoon snaps and how it is usually very boring for the viewer, but I don't care. It's my blog and if I want to post pictures of pretty things on it then I will! Don't worry, I don't feature in any of them. They are mostly of Loch Fyne and the surrounding area.

Par example:

The water was so still that it was almost impossible not to take a good picture.

Mitch was very keen to see what it was like.

Mitch and Loch Fyne

So she went for a wee dip and got learned. I tried to tell her that Loch Fyne was a coastal loch and was freezing!

Mitchy apres dip.

She looks much happier in this picture than she actually was. She was shivering so hard it looked like there were two of her.

Still, the sunset was so pretty that I took about a million photos, here are some:

Loch Fyne & Kintyre Sunset

The sun cast a pretty pall over the boats on the loch and their moorings.

Boats again.

And one more sunset for posterity:

Loch Fyne really is beautiful, about an hour and a bit from Glasgow and you could be in the middle of nowhere. Or 18 miles from Dunoon...

So far from civilisation...

It has some lovely wildlife. You should be cautious though, there are red squirrels (?!).

Caution!

Mitch was amused by the sign too:

The Loch also has a pretty castle at Inverary, of course. It's a funny green colour too:

Inverary also has the best looking car park I've seen in a long time, and possibly the oldest:


It dates to the 18th century. Who knew the Scots invented car parks before cars were even invented eh? Top bombing. That's another one added to the list.

After Inverary we went along the coast of the loch to the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar, a renowned shellfish and seafood purveyor. They had pretty shellfish:

Shellfish!

That ended up on Mitch's plate!

Check the size of that crab.

Hurray! Honeymoon photos!
But swimming in Scotland in October? Michy! You won't convince Niall to take up swimming if you get hypothermia in front of him
