Thursday in North Tolsta

 in Scotland, the second of January is also a holiday....

 so we visited The Crofter...where work never stops...

 dagging new sheep, because the change of pasture has upset their digestive systems a bit...

 MY bucket....

 Hmff...

 Gress beach walk, before..

 Stornoway lunch at the Bridge Cafe...

 and a walk up to the castle..

 to the ferry leaving for Ullapool, into the coming squalls..

 which arrived home before us

 but lifted in time for a last minute beach walk..

 aim for the rock...

 and get around it with dry feet!

 

 then find beauty at the edge of the sand as it met the road coming down...how I'd not walked on them as we arrived at the beach is a mystery!
