Yes, indeed so Martyn - the weather is very considerably better - it comes
from having mountain ranges to the south, west and north to intercept the
nasty stuff. Such as this one from this afternoon, Ben Wyvis sucking up the
rain clouds for us:

I took the view that the additional hassle in moving 560 miles versus 5, or
6, or 56, was not worth worrying about...

Ah now there *is* a thought, Donald! How about these quickies as a taster:
The view from my desk is a bit restricted, but Beinn Tharsuinn had some snow
last week: http://www.hemy.me.uk/img/MBViewLow.jpg
It's a better view from upstairs (with Ben Wyvis on the left):

OT camera, I regret - the A1 came back that day from CCD replacement, and
seems to be back in good health, and much quicker than expected at that. I
had been led to believe I would be without it for another two months, which
prompted me to order an E1 two days before it arrived back. But every cloud
has a silver lining, I suppose.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
