More on the weather...

We're having some pretty dramatic weather this week. 

We had a couple of days when brilliant sunshine with fluffy white clouds would be blotted out in seconds by a bible-black cloud followed a few minutes later by thousands of hail stones bouncing on the lawn.

Here is a sunset, taken from our garden, shortly after one such hailstorm.

Last night the wheelie bin was blown noisily across the garden and the wind hissed all night in the pine trees, with rain lashing against the window. Much the same weather is continuing today. Our local river is a raging torrent. If the rain eases enough I'll dash out and get a picture. 

Exciting stuff!

Reading about your wheelie bin reminded me of the ones at the end of the track just before you drop down to Sligachan. ( the three that are bolted onto concrete slabs )
On sunday morning, dog walking, we noticed that one had been ripped from its concrete and totally disappeared, probably over on Raasay now ! and another one had travelled down the road, about 30 yards ) still attached to its concrete slab !!!
Cant wait until January when it gets really breezy.
