Sunday 01/05/05 - Beltane

We were promised rain today, but as per normal, it has failed to materialize, at least by 10.30. Beltane is an ancient heathen festival which celebrates the start of summer. The two guests from last night appear at breakfast, they are a motorcycling couple. I don't think they've known each other very long. The lady has only done about 75 miles on the bike, prior to coming all the way up to Ullapool out of North Wales. It's a fair day, with some sunshine, which I spend in idle sloth. Mrs B. serves me dinner.
