A Walk On The Wild Side

 Sunday was overcast and dreary not really conducive for a stroll across the machair.  But after listening to the morning church service and over indulging with lunch, we both felt it was a good idea.  The wind was blowing and underfoot was very wet but it was worth a little bit of discomfort.  The views were indeed spectacular.  We took a left turn quite near our cottage down a single track road and this is what was at the end of the track.  We have been there before but it is still a delight to find this hidden treasure.

The bothy was amazing, it really does look like it has been made from an old building, maybe an old blackhouse dwelling.  What a place to sit and watch the sea and enjoy the natural surroundings.  The sea was wild creating some great waves, I must admit I wouldn't have wanted to be out on a boat.

As we were walking it was quite apparent that the seasons were changing.  There was a lot of brown where the thistles were changing colour from the vibrant green and purple.

What I love is wherever we walk there is always sheep and as I am such a yarn lover I always like to admire their coats.

All in all it was a delightful walk on the wild side...Hope you enjoyed coming along with me from your armchair.  Come on back to the cottage my neighbour has just made scones and I will put the kettle on.  This is the single track road.

We will have to sit outside I'm afraid the new restrictions have been announced and we are not allowed home visits.  We will of course abide by the rules but I must admit that I feel saddened by these steps, our social life is very much visiting each others homes.  I will do whatever it takes to be rid of this terrible virus that is sweeping the world. Take care and stay safe.

See you soon.
