Tuesday 19/09/06

Nice day, with some showers in the morning. Hurricane Gordon is set to blow over the Azores tonight, with winds of 90 mph. The system will carry on east towards northwestern Spain. The weather in the UK will get a swipe from it as well. The Restoration Village competition was won by a building from Warwickshire, England; the two buildings in Scotland did not get it. The Bullough Mausoleum on Rum is being restored; it was in a state of dangerous disrepair 2 years ago. Go into town after lunch and walk over to Cuddy Point. The YM building has now been completely demolished; a pile of rubble is all that remains. The afternoon is breezy but not cold. A fair few boats lie anchored off Cuddy Point. The big red ship that was on the Goat Island slipway this morning, now lies moored off Amity House. Return to Newton at 4.30pm. Tomorrow, mrs B has an inspection by VisitScotland. She is not feeling herself since the weekend. So, we keep it nice and quiet tonight. Supper: sweet and sour chicken with semolina pudding after.

  4. I hope Mrs. B is feeling better soon.  I would like to know more about Lews Castle.  Is it open to the public?  Love the picture of the heather.  My daughter wants the rocks that are beside it in pic. lol  Like my little junior geologist needs any more rocks!
