Wednesday 1st
June
After a good night's
sleep and a quick breakfast we set off on our way to Ardrossan for
the ferry to Arran. We stopped for a small amount of shopping at
Morrison's near Stevenston. We were very early for the ferry so we
stopped in Saltcoats and took Button for a walk along the beach.
Then, after a cup of tea and some cake, we found another walk up to
the Saltcoats Castle ruins.

I took several photos
as we waited at the ferry port. We boarded on time and had our lunch
in the ferry restaurant. The drive to Blackwaterfoot from Brodick
over the String was picturesque but quite slow as we were stuck
behind a heavily laden lorry.

Wilma greeted us at the
grassy verge by the beach. Lyn and Wilma had their usual blether.
Wilma joined us for a cheese tea and we were able to sit outside to
watch the sunset until the midges chased us inside.

Beautiful sunset pic (although you might need to straighten the horizon!)
