Sunday afternoon in Stornoway

Changeable afternoon here, with sunshine and short, sharp showers. Went out for an amble to the harbour for the purpose of taking pictures of ships in at the moment. I don't know the purpose of them - the Discoverer is an expedition ship, the Glomar Venture is a former fishing boat with the notice 'Guard' on it and the Nitrox is a local boat which looks like it has been transformed into a creel boat. No activity (of course), apart from cars.

  2. Well...even though I don't like milk chocolates I reckon I could maybe help myself to at least one or two of these Guido and help you finish them.  Being diabetic I miss sweeties, even though I never bothered with them much before.  I suppose it's just because I can't have them...lol!  Sods law!
    Smashing Sunday afternoon photos on your walk-about.  I am still waiting to go out, I've been reading, as its throwing it down outside and blowing a wee hoolie every now and then.  I may not even bother.  It looks more appealing to run up and downstairs my two flights of stairs a few times rather than go out..hahaha!
    The 'place' looks empty today...where is everybody?

  9. I LOVE that kind of weather! We don't get near enough here. Wow your town was deserted! Not a soul to be seen. Everyone really does stay home on Sunday there, don't they?  You would hate it here Guido.
