[Sundae]

I forgot to mention that in the background (above) is Holy Isle, where the monkeys live.
Or Buddhists or something vegan like that.
I'm tempted, but TBH if I'm going to endure public transport all the way to Arran I think I'd rather have a little more hedonism on my arrival than a retreat would provide. I'd be miserable if the weather was miserable, and if it was good I'd end up rocking and moaning to myself about the wasted opportunity of being so near and yet so far from a nice sausage bap.

I became a little obsessed by the swans on Arran.
I've never seen them on the sea before - they're inland birds in my book; fresh water birds if such a thing exists.
I can only assume that they're more flexible than I thought, or that no-one told them about my book, because they were everywhere on the salty water and on the beach.
Thinking about it, my book was probably I-Spy at the Seaside, which is an under-used resource tool these days.
