Day 3 on Lewis

 A walk on Traigh Mhòr (Big Beach ) this morning as it was still and dry..it feels most odd not to hear the sea and / or the wind!

















After a quick lunch, we went to the sports centre in Stornoway to play bowls with the local bowls club.

I had only played bowls once before, this time last year in the bowls clubhouse... completely different to full size indoor mats!! I had the lend of another friend's bowls..six per mat (two teams)on the three mats..my team won!! I also found that I bowl better with my left hand.

One of my friends had previously put a tracker on herself at one of those afternoon games, and found that she had walked a mile and a half!

Then a short walk before supper in the Bridge Centre café (to be recommended)

















Lews Castle, built in the 1800s in six years


The Hebridean Isles..in her last few days of work, before being scrapped, no longer a passenger ferry but carrying freight

A good early supper out, then back for a rest.

My ankle is slowly reducing, but my knees and hips are still not right..but with less swelling any damage should be easier to diagnose and treat. 

I am not in pain....but it is definitely not right. It isn't shouting at me...but it is certainly having a good grumble!!

I hope the grumbling soon stops!

Walking on the beach when no one else is around is so relaxing for the body and mind, looks like lovely golden sand.
