Day 4 in Lewis

 A strangely warm night which then went on to be windy with heavy rain...and it carried on raining steadily....

I had brought my travelling patchwork sewing box with me, so a morning's sewing saw another strip finished.

It carried on raining through our early lunch and as we made our way to Stornoway.




We had half an hour to spare so had a quiche look at the museum in Lews Castle.

There was a fascinating display about all aspects of the community in Carloway, the northern end of the Island of Lewis.

Including a beautiful basket 



Then to the bowling club for an afternoon of short mat bowls...a few good shots and quite a few more failures...but all good fun and good company... before heading home in sunshine!




Families were out guising for Halloween as we arrived..a sensible idea..better than after dark in a rural area! And they were having just as much fun!!

We watched cycling on YouTube all evening, with our supper...cyclo cross, then track racing, the second day of the London 3 day.

And I read a whole book....by Michael Hutchinson about his hour record attempt and the history of the hour record..

Good to get back to reading...and I have limited room in my bag for any borrowed books!
