Return to the realms of winter!

This past week has seen days of lovely sunshine but with a very chilly North Easterly wind. There were times when the wind wasn't so strong it felt quite pleasant. Thats why I took the opportunity to mow the lawn, even though I had a raging sore throat. I felt ok all the time I was upright and mobile but when I sat down that was it for the day.Anyway mission accomplished for a couple of weeks. What a difference a day makes it feels like we are back to March.

The garden is beginning to look a little bit better lots of spring flowers and I have been spreading the manure recently collected from Sue and Kevin's croft.

Heather has been doing a bit of manual labour for me but I'm still hoping she will sort out the posting of my weather data. We live in hope...........................

Big crane from Rasaay

A very blustery start to the day brought a larger Ferry to Sconser the Loch Brushda carry a Heavy Lifting crane which has been lifting concrete blocks and steel shuttering at the new pier on Rasaay for the last 2 years.. The lorry had a small problem negotiating the roadworks but was finally on its way.

Both the Loch Striven and the Loch Brushda have been ferrying large and small vehicles back to Rasaay all morning . Loch Striven to the old terminal and Loch Brushda to the new one.


Today has brought plenty of stunning rainbows as you can see from the above photo.

Still haven't sorted problems with Weather Station but have Techno wiz Heather here to sort it out. So watch this space .....AGAIN

Spring cleaning

Well today seems to be a good to get rid of the cobwebs etc. The weather outside is frightful (sounds like the beginning of a song) Not like yesterday when it was lovely and sunny.

Just been outside and it feels warm when the sun comes out and the wind is not quite so bad.

Getting things sorted for when Heather comes up at weekend looks like her flight will be ok I am looking forward to seeing her. No work still but I am optomistic for May.

Still having technical problems with Weather data but hopefully "a man who can maybe will sort it out".
. Thought weather was improving but hailstones again!!!
