Well, what a busy week we've all had here at Microlodge. The 4 units, comprising of a 2 man lodge, drying room & 2 shower rooms for Wales are surging ahead and we are aiming for a Friday pick-up with delivery due for Monday. I can see a few late nights to get them out on time. Today we started to get the doors fitted and the wet-wall installed in one unit.. We are however frantically searching for lights as the supplier had forgotten to order ours in... Oops.
Meanwhile...what a weekend. Gary went to Ikea (oh the excitement), whereas I took Blaze on an adventure.
First we drove to 12 miles upstream of Dunkeld and went canoeing. The weather for early April was magnificent.
Then we returned to town via the river, stopping halfway on an island for lunch.

Quiet & tranquil, pure bliss
After the river trip, we headed west along to Lochearnhead, and stopped of with Kathy at the post office. The intention was to head North to Buachaille Etive Mor & bag the 2 Munros there. This was 2 that I have already done, (& fell off of), but they would have been just perfect for Kathys 100th Munro. As it was, the cloud had came down to 2,000 ft and visibility was rubbish, so instead we headed back south & inland to Killin and decided to do 2 mountains in the Lawers range instead.
These were to be Blazes 1st ever mountains & his 1st ever encounter with snow.

At Ben Lawers. (it was freezing...-10)
First snow
It's now Wednesday, and we have been hit by blizzards, so the wood burner in the shop is working overtime keeping us all toasty. Today, we should start getting the roof shingles on the units & have a 2nd coat of varnishing done on the exteriors. Should be able to get some good photos later for the website.
