Castelton to John O Groats road, Roxy? Fabulous weather for February, too! 
Itās so beautiful up that way. The North 500 is a mixed blessing, isnāt it?
The beaches - wonderful. We used to go to them all. If you saw another car parked up, youād go on to the next one, which would be empty. 
As for the state of politics in Scotland right now - itās shameful. Itās so very sad - Scotland can be better than this.
I hear on the grapevine Cherry wants to form another Independent Party with Salmondā¦soā¦Thereās no love lost between Her and Sturgeon :-p
Oooh, I didnāt know thatā¦well, I shall wait and see what comes of it, Mayā¦
Yes,interesting, but very unsettling times for Us Scots Pixieā¦let the chips fall where they mayā¦I also hear Cherry
would take the UK Govā to court if They refused another referendum,lolā¦Life is just a bowl of Cherries 
Oh lordy, rolling my eyes at that info, May! 
We just need to stick together, and hope for the bestā¦also put our vote in the right box come the elections!
Yes Castletown village to Dunnet Forest. Have you been to Strathy Bay?
Yes. I think we did all the beaches, really. We loved Farr beach the best, I think. They could be so hot in good weather!
As May saysā¦ Let the chips fall where they may, Iām sick of the lot of them and donāt give a damn anymore. Scunners and Cretins as far as Iām concerned. 
Farr Beach is the one at Bettyhill isnāt it? Not been to that one. I tend to stick to the ones near to home. Dunnet, Castletown, Thurso, Sandside, and if I feel like a drive then Strathy.
Good Morning Each,itās a dry dull one here but Iām too lazy to go out walking,ā¦outside windows are filthy so thatās the one and only job Iāll be doing todayā¦Have a good Sunday all and keep safe.xx
Good morning. Grey skies here this morning so its some housework and out for a walk later. May Iāll have to clean the back windows. Mr. seagull left a calling card on it.
Yes a bit grey here too , but the sun is trying to get through. Itās hair cutting day todayā¦O H needs a trim, might treat ourselves to an Indian takeaway tonightā¦
What is the north 500?? is it a new road
The North Coast 500 is a 516-mile (830 km) scenic route around the north coast of Scotland, starting and ending at Inverness Castle. The route is also known as the NC500 and was launched in 2015, linking many features in the north Highlands of Scotland in one touring route.
Length: 516 mi (830 km)
This maybe it Paula.
Afternoon All, Grey and chilly here today, whacked out and covered in hair but I finally got that blooming long heavy coat off the dog. 
This is what the NC500 brought up here last summer, Durness was bad but it was the same all along the coastā¦It was hell.
Yes, Farr is near Bettyhill. Itās huge.
We were stunned by the amount of traffic on the road on our trip north two years ago. We stopped at Durness and it was mobbed. We couldnāt get lunch anywhere but luckily had some sandwiches with us so that was ok. Then we needed the loo, of which there are two, one M, one F. My daughter spotted two coaches pulling up and said āMum! Quick! Run!ā and we managed to get in front and avoid the worst of the queues.
Most people seem to go in a clockwise direction but we were going anti-clockwise so there was a lot of backing up to be done on the road. We cut across to Lairg and that was lovely and quiet.
I think whoever came up with the NC500 hadnāt expected it to take off like it did, but they definitely need to invest more money in facilities to ease the strain on local people and encourage more visitors to spend more money in the area.
Good Morning Lassies,a fine sunny frosty one here so off for a walk after breakfast,
I see there is a new variant of the virus from Brazil and some Folks have brought it here to Aberdeen via Paris/Londonā¦jeeze!..will the vaccine be useless against it,and will We be in lockdown forever?..I also see visitors to care-homes are being allowed from today for the first timeā¦another case of cross Yer fingers and hope for the best!!!
Iām just a little ray of sunshine on this fine Monday Mornā,aint I:lol:
Morning all! I just applied for an allotment today (raised beds only, not a plot of land) SO excited to start growing my own food. 
Apart from that, no other plans. Its really chilly this morning so have the heating on. Have a good day
Good morning everybody. Foggy start here this morning, its disappeared and the sun is out. May I seen that on the news about the new strain. Iām only watching the news at teatime. Pixie my heatingās never off. Family coming down later for a visit.
Well itās a lovely day here. We sat outside for a bit and I had to take my jacket off as I was too hot. Its hard to believe the change in the weather. The birds have certainly noticed. What a racket. Its nice to hear them though. Also nice to hear the wee ones playing in the school near us.
