High hopes dashed....

Things augured well for the weekend.

The sun was shining brightly in the northwest of Scotland on Friday afternoon.

On Saturday still not a cloud on the horizon.

We had the pleasure of first class company too*.

As dawn broke over the Torridon hills on Sunday morning our thoughts were turning to the Rugby World Cup across the other side of the world in Japan.

At 8:45 am I remembered to stand for the "Flower of Scotland'...

Oh where oh where did it all go so wrong...?

PS You'll notice my Saltire flag neckerchief in picture #5. Your comments on my previous post put this as the clear winner from my bandana collection and so I must thank you all most sincerely for responding to my plea for help and resolving my holiday wardrobe dilemma so decisively! 

*Regular readers will of course recognise YAM-Aunty.

  2. Yay Bertie....the Saltire flag neckerchief was my favorite too. Such a disappointment when our teams lose.
    I admit to being more than a tad envious of Aunty having the pleasure of staying with you...however, how wonderful that you 3 found each other thru the WWW

  5. The Saltire was the right decision Bertie, you look so handsome. All the German lady doggies will swoon when you wear it.
    Well at least the weather was glorious - even if the Rugby results weren't !
