A day of varying fortunes in terms of weather. We set off for the Iolaire Memorial in the morning, which is a few miles by road. Apart from the historical context, the site has got some very nice views down the Minch. A jaunt round Stornoway Harbour brought us to Arnish after midday, a mile from the Memorial by sea, but about 7 miles by road. The Fabrication Yard was empty and looking derelicht, devoid of any signs of activity. The place was overrun by ragwort, a plant deemed a noxious weed by law, and requiring eradication. We kept a quiet afternoon, reading books and the like.

It was cool & damp here this morning but by 1pm in the afternoon, the sun was out and the temp crept up to 70*. It's supposed to be climbing higher as the week goes on. I can tell you're keeping your dad very busy. I'm happy the two of you are making lots of happy memories... Linda in WA
