          ….And the continuous grey skies do nothing to lift the mood either. :doh:

            You can send some here Phil. We had some much needed torrential downpours this week but they were brief and now we are back to clear skies. We have been in dire straits for over two years and desperately need more before our summer. of five more or more months of no rain whatsoever.

                Foxy Molly is a rescued dog,..her previous owner had Asthma so Foxy Molly had to remain outdoors,..her owner felt she was not getting enough attention and put her up for re Homing. Foxy Molly was also attacked by a bigger dog and was badly mauled,..i took her on board and after several months she recovered and loves her new surroundings.

                      That would be desert country then. :biggrin: I hope you enjoyed your break.

                      Foxy has found a good and happy home with you despite her previous woes. I wish you many years of fun together. :)

                            Thankyou, I enjoyed the video. :) It must be twenty years since I was there and although it's changed, I think even with the trams, it's all been done sympathetically. Lovely to see the sculptures that actually depict it's history and not modern art that leaves us wondering what it's supposed to define.

                            There are some modern, nightmare ideas being planned for around the River Ness here in Inverness that will completely ruin it's natural look. The general public hate the ideas but councillors aren't listening - as per usual!
