The tourist season on Skye starts at Easter, then pauses for a couple of weeks, then gets going for real in May. Businesses which close for winter have dusted off their 'closed' signs, and there are a few camper vans on the campsites. There's also a few cars with overseas number plates driving about. Many visitors come in hire cars, but we get used to recognising them - the cars are usually less than a year old and very clean. Not many cars owned by the residents fit into either of those categories!
Of course, 'natural' Skye is waking up too. The daffodils are especially good this year, and there are primroses in flower in hedgerows everywhere. I've already had the lawn mower at work, but it looks like the bluebells may be a bit late this year.
The weather continues to be kind. There's been no real rain for ages, and not much wind either. We are still getting frost most nights, but daytimes this week have seen fluffy white clouds and blue sky.
Wonderful!

Are you seeing much dust and ash from the volcano in Iceland?
Hello Jill, No sign of volcanic activity here - not in the last few million years anyway. We had a little light rain last night, and it hasn't left dusty spots on the cars.
