Burbling V8s in Roskhill

No, it's not my Jaguar XK8 yet,,, but cars like these are probably even more scarce than Jaguars on Skye... A group of Germans have brought five beautiful Chevrolet Corvettes to Skye, four of them dating back to the 1970s. The group are staying at Roskhill House, next door. Here a video of them setting off this morning - in the drizzle - for another day out exploring.

As for us - without doubt, our everyday life has returned pretty much to normal after our winter of living elsewhere while the Barn works were underway. We are now fully immersed in the holiday season, with lots of turn-rounds to do, and the associated laundry to wash and ironing to get done. Although we are not having visitors here at the Barn any more, we now offer short breaks at two of the cottages, so this usually means two turn-rounds a week at each of them. But short breaks are very popular, so we are likely to continue  to offer them.

In between the turn-rounds, we are both finding time to keep on top of the garden maintenance and I seem to be mowing lawns quite a bit! I am also continuing to do bits of DIY around the Barn, and have completed the shelving in the new big wardrobe as well as the cupboard in Sue's playroom. My garage/workshop is a more useful workspace now too, as I have built-in a bench, and added shelves and a tool wall.
