It's exactly two years today that I arrived in Oban – not on a holiday as in previous years, but to stay. It's been a very interesting time, with oh so many wonderful moments and a few not so good ones. I suppose I need those just to keep me grounded or else in my bliss of being in this spectacularly beautiful area I might truly have got blown away.
This is how the day started – clear sky, not a cloud in sight, but a jet scoring the blue with its contrail -- they were flying again:
A little later, this lenticular beauty appeared above Soroba:
To celebrate, in a very minor fashion, I met up with two of my earliest local friends. We treated ourselves to some goodies and the spectacular view of Oban Bay at the Chocolate Company. Afterwards, E.C. and I slowly walked back toward the town centre and were in the right spot at the right time to see the local Sea Kayaking class come back from their day on the water.
It was a beautiful day, but a bit on the deceptive side, with a nippy breeze, and it ends on a colourful note:
May everyone who reads these lines be well and happy in whatever you're up to.Peace and happiness to you, and to the world.
