Tuesday 26 February

Another brilliantly sunny day, where we reached the dizzy heights of 9C / 48F in the afternoon. Later this week, the sunshine will disappear south, but at least we've had a little foretaste of spring. The crocuses, e.g., are out now. Went for an amble into the Castle Grounds, and onto Bennadrove, trying to glimpse the new windfarm on the Pentland Road. (Un)fortunately, I was not able to espy them from the road by the loch, so I was spared that. I saw them from the Cockle Ebb yesterday, and Strawberry Hill on Thursday.
