We had an evening out yesterday, visiting our friends Anders and Karin from Sweden. They rented the Barn last winter, and have been staying in Fiscavaig since we have been on Skye. They return to Sweden next month, so it was good to meet up and have a 'Swedish' meal with them.
We left Fiscavaig to drive home just after midnight. The sky was broken cloud, and a large moon occasionally appeared. The western sky was streaked with the last vestiges of grey daylight - it never really gets dark in the summer here. The air was still and warm, scented with meadowsweet, which is flowering everywhere just now.
I drove the 20-or-so miles quite slowly, aware that there are hedgehogs toddling about, and always the occasional insomniac sheep standing, chewing, in the middle of the road. In the 40 minute trip, we didn't see another vehicle - and this is 'high season' for tourists... I am still getting used to the lack of traffic on Skye!
