Happy Sunday!

Following my resolve to make the most of this summer and the current heat wave, I thought today was a good day for another adventure. So, I set out and headed North again to try and visit the Dolphin Centre, a charity devoted to the conservation of and education about marine mammals.

The centre is located on the mouth of the river Spey, which is mostly famous for providing one of the necessities to make whisky. If there is anything that exists in greater number than castles up here, it’s distilleries…but that’s a topic for another weekend.

The Dolphin Centre is a charity run by volunteers who, aside from staffing the cafe, organise tours of the centre and keep an eye on the local dolphin population. Apparently, there are around 190 of them in the Moray Firth, the area close to the centre.

Unfortunately, none of them felt like making an appearance today. Not one.

There were lots of gulls, … but let’s just say it would be more unusual not to see a gull. They are everywhere around these parts.

Still, it was a nice day out and there were some gorgeous paths around the Spey estuary.

At some point during my walk, the rain set on. It was sunny and sweltering hot when I left home this lunch time. Too hot. The change of weather was magnificent. Even tho it was raining, it was the sort of warm summer rain that smells and feels like poetry.Ā  Loved it.

I hope your Sundays have been fun, too.
