A final image from our cycling weekend - this is taken in Cromarty on Black Isle. You can see semi-submersible as well as jack-up drilling rigs. Obviously the operators of these rigs would rather they were not sitting idle, but they do make for rather a lovely image on that beautiful sunny Monday.
Love it! I usually see these giants from the other side of the firth when I'm on the train on my way to Mum's.
But I spent two very happy years teaching in Cromarty School when I graduated first, living with a dear lady and loving my job.
And planning a wedding! That is 40 years ago but it feels much less! We go and visit from time to time and in the summer there is a little ferry which crosses to Nigg on the other side. I crossed there with the workmen who were building oil platforms at that time.....on Monday morning and Friday afternoon. Happy days!
