My wife, daughter and granddaughter are away in the Highlands and benefitting from weather that I’ve rarely seen up there. in between walking dogs, three walks to our daughters to tend her giant rabbits, I am trying to progress the final bits of the new kitchen namely painting skirting and doors in time to put the vacuum around for their return on Sunday. I have a general reputation for ignoring phones but as I’m on my own I now tend answer them. So as I was bent double and on my knees the house phone went. It was my wife telling me that her and granddaughter had taken a taxi to Ben Nevis, took the gondola and were walking along paths in the higher area. To rub salt into a very sore wound she said it was warm, sunny, midge free and a crystal clear sky, and that I would love it. Great just what I needed.

Glad to see they are enjoying themselves, will return home relaxed and rested [just perfect for them to inspect any works completed during this time, an added bonus for you]. Hope you can enjoy the remainder of the time they are away and able to have some good times as well.

I think that you may have a very good point there which could merit serious consideration.
If accuracy of reporting is deemed essential then when high up on Ben Nevis they said barely any midges and no biters. The Scottish midge dislikes sunlight.

Midges don't like wind - the air is rarely still on top of Ben Nevis.
Hi Sam have you got some warm days up in Scotland 🙂
My wife rang me from Mallaig this morning and said it was warm and sunny. They’ve had good weather since arriving in the area.
Beats your regular three lots of rain day in day out.
Yes, we've had a number of good sunny days here on Skye.
On Wednesday we had to drive to Edinburgh and the temperature got to 29degC going through Glen Coe and Rannoch Mor.
Unfortunately the good weather not only attracts midgies but swarms of tourists. A normal 6hr journey took us nearly 8 hours due to slow moving tourists - and not really motorhomes or caravanners.

First thing this morning we experienced the temperature I stated but glad to say the day progressed to a nice 21c. Unsure if you have been lucky to have this occur where you live or does it stay the same throughout the day with no changes? 🙂
