Purple Thistle “Oor Blog”

With the school summer holiday at an end it was with great excitement that the Shearer clan descended on Balmacara.
After a relatively midge free summer (all these theories about “none of the little blighters because the winter was so cold” etc. etc.) we managed to find the entire west coast biomass had relocated to an old Forestry Commision campsite on the outskirts of Balmacara!  Not to be deterred we set up camp with our new green tent, much to Carol’s dismay as she spent the first ten minutes after arrival looking for our old blue one!
