"Here is the weather forecast rain for the 3rd July"...then and now the same with some lightning thrown in today for good measure.

The “Then” blog. For details see entry for March 7th 2009. In brief the restoration of Claonairigh House.
Friday July 3rd
Inveraray caravan Park
Heavy rain with clear spells.
Visited solicitor in Lochgilphead. All going ahead, has purchased the superiority of the feu from Argyll Estates. Briefly visited the house. Some one ? on behalf of Bidwell’s has removed the cottage roofs. The roses at the back of the house rambling up the wall to the first story and over the garden wall are breathtaking both in their beauty and smell. They are very small delicate ivory flowers and a pleasure to look at. No further tiles have gone which is a relief; we met Mr Hendry on the way back to the camp site through the forest. He saw 6 deer in the paddock recently.
