Isle of whithorn a flying visit part one

Having spent the weekend in Dumfries and Galloway during a hot and dry weekend and driven 300 or so miles there and back again. I feel I should spend some time recuperating and catching up with the pictures I took and writing up this blog. unfortunately no 1 daughters bedroom is in dire need of decorating and it has been decreed that we will get this sorted as soon as possible. so the room is now on the whole devoid of most things to be honest. there is a carpet and the occasional scrap of wall paper so I think I can call it a day.

My daughters had entered the Art and photography competitionn run by Castle Kennedy and the Stair Estates and both had won prizes. So we decided to go and pick them up in person. The presentation took place in the library in Stranraer on the Friday evening. We managed to get a place to stay in the Isle of Whithorn. Which is about an hour away from Stranraer but somewhere we have come back to over the years.

This is the main street on a busy Saturday morning.

the harbour itself is quiet and peaceful with the Steampacket inn possibly the favoured destination.

We arrived in plenty of time and were able to get top the presentation with lots of time to spare.

OK time for bed more in part 2 later in the week decorating allowing
