It's a Bank Holiday in the UK, and the weather is suitably dreadful. But not up here. We're having brilliant sunshine, and the only negative factor is the cold northeasterly wind, which brings in showers. Vestiges of the bad weather down south drift in in the shape of high level clouds, but we're about 600 miles away, so no adverse weather here.
A councillor in the islands has called for the scrapping of ferry fares, in line with plans by the Executive to abolish tolls on the Forth and Tay road bridges. That would save an awful lot of money - a return on the ferry to Ullapool costs £26 for a footpassenger and up to £200 for a motorhome. Who would pay for the cost of the crossing has not been made clear.

It's a holiday here also, Guido, and usually signals the beginning of summer. For the first time in years, we've actually had lovely, summer-like weather. Chris
