Monday:-We took the long and winding road to Kilmelford

and dropped Toby off at The Weaver, a yacht that will be his home for the next 4 nights. I, in my normal organized way allowed two hours for the trip, which included a sub trip to Lyndsay's in Furnace to feed frozen blood worms etc to her fish and frogs on the way. We were, predictably 1 hr early. Having located the marina we drove on to Kilmelford village in search of reading matter for moi. I found a Country Living at...get this to use a common term but utterly deserved £3.30!!! After leaving son and heir we repaired to Oban for shopping therapy, an area that the girls sadly do not (yet) appreciate but they do do lunch, thankfully......

Mid week excitment...see what a fascinating life we lead!

This beautiful creature was buzzing around the kitchen and came to rest on the Oban Times, where better? After much photos taking and mental images of a new sighting of rare moth, a quick scan of the moth bible revealed a very common moth called the small Elephant Hawk which feed on rhododrendrons and honeysuckles, it even had to be the small variety to add insult to ignorant injury for the latent lepidopterist within me.
