I saw this photo on Gail's phone a few days ago and I thought she was fibbing when she claimed she'd been out on another bike ride with her friends in NE Scotland.
Surely she had taken a quick flight to a beach somewhere warm and sunny. Portugal perhaps?
But then I saw a second photo and concluded perhaps she hadn't been fibbing after all.
Gail says the photos were taken on the coast at Whitehills, near Banff. And now it's perhaps the turn of my Canadian readers to be confused! They will be wondering what has happened to the Rocky Mountains. Very rapid erosion perhaps? Swallowed by a subduction zone?
Just to clarify - Banff in Scotland (the original Banff, incidentally) really is by the sea, and has lovely beaches nearby. Or so I'm told, although I'm still waiting to be taken there...
Meanwhile here's a picture of me bouncing along the bonnie banks of the River Dee yesterday afternoon, when Aberdeen was a chilly and haar enshrouded 12ºC but ten miles inland at Drumoak we entered a different and delightful climate zone.
To be honest, I don't so often feel bouncy these days. But I still have my moments!

ReplyDeleteI am glad Gail was around to record that bounce, then Bertie lad!!! Gotta tell you, today has dawned very bright indeed and I believe it might actually be (whispers) **warm** as the day progresses. Not there yet, but working on it. Here's hoping it's around for at least week. You know why! Hugs and wag,s YAM-aunty xxx
Bertie, you look fabulous in that last photo, and just like a bouncing pup! We hope that you have many more moments, and lots more bounce.
ReplyDeleteGail's photo really does look like the Mediterranean, but maybe your sea isn't quite so warm! Yesterday our local beach was very busy, and lots of people were in the sea, so we know summer has finally come!
Love,

There is nothing like lovely warm weather and a walk with Gail to put a bounce in your step, Bertie.
ReplyDeleteDearest Bertie what a glorious day Gail and friends had for a Banff Bike Ride.
ReplyDeletePrecious friend I did so enjoy your photo of Bouncy Bertie with the sun shining and a breeze thru your WFT furs.
Sending hugs and love

It looks like you are having a stretch of nice weather with the sun shining on you, Bertie. We're glad to see you still can bounce a little.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you got some nice sunny days to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWe love that last photo of you, Bertie! The cooler temps can definitely give you bouncy sparks of energy!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't know our Banff was named after yours, but aren't surprised as settlers brought a lot of names with them.
ReplyDeleteYou are looking quite spiffy there, Bertie. We had you have a lot of bounce in your step for a long time to come.

I prefer pictures where you are bouncing.
ReplyDeletewe love your bouncing place.. it looks a little like a painting by bob ross.. but we wonder why he never had pups in his pics... that's a big fat minus we think
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you still have your moments - and looking very dapper in your neckerchief too
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful blue sky, and the sun on your furs in that last photo made us all smile!!

ReplyDeleteYou look sooooo happy bouncing through the meadow! We wish we could run with you!
