For the first time since moving here at the end of April, I left the island last week - for a trip to Inverness. The journey takes about three hours, and goes through some truly stunning scenery.
The trip was multi-purpose. I delivered Sue to the bus garage in Inverness after we had done a day's shopping. Sue has gone down to Kent for a week to catch up with friends and spend some time with her Mum, and this time she went by coach, which is very much cheaper than using the car.
Also, we had to order some new carpets for Aird View - the Scottish Tourist Board 'star rating' is based upon quality assurance inspections, and last year we were warned that we would need new carpets by the time of this years' inspection - so the deed had to be done, though I have to say that the carpets look OK to me...
I returned to Roskhill in the evening with a car loaded with bits from B&Q, and now have a couple of DIY tasks to complete before Sue gets back and sees all the mess here...
