Ruaridh and the Ducks

Yesterday was an amazing day here in the N/W awoke at 0800 hours to hot, sunny day. Did some work in the garden, when Layla got up about 0930 hours we had breakfast, strawberries, raspberries and yoghurt, followed by toasted cheese and rocket focaccia (hmm delicious,) Graham had made this whilst I was in Edinburgh.
Garry B came over to visit and after doing more work in the garden we decided to go to the beach for Ruaridh's walk. Garry and his auntie Christine came with us. We had a super time at the beach and all ventured into the ocean for a paddle, we encouraged Ruaridh to have a swim but he was having none of it! However when we got to the river he took off, next thing we saw was this mother duck and her three ducklings skimming the water hell for leather, and who was the cause of this-yes Ruaridh. He had spied them and decided to investigate, needless to say it ended up with the dog having to swim quite a distance, but to no avail the ducks got away. This happened so quickly I was unable to get a photograph of the event, Graham however did, the wee spot is Ruaridh's head!
Had a late leisurely lunch sat on the deck, must try and get the chimenea going today.
