Default On the bonnie, bonnie banks....

... of Loch Lomond (if you know the song!).

I was given a present of a champagne afternoon tea for two by a friend at work (back when I used to go to work!), so me and SWMBO went off to The Lodge on Loch Lomond this afternoon. It's never quite got light up here all day because of heavy cloud cover but, as it was dry, I took a couple of photos.

They're a bit gloomy, and taken on an aging iPhone, but who can resist looking at photos of a D2 S8 and Scottish scenery?

No photos of SWMBO then - just the car

Ah, how well you must love her subtle curves, the graceful lines of her boot.....
