Walk
With the lock down being lifted a little and good weather being forecasted, we decided to head to the coast to let us all run off a little steam. We expected the coast to be busy so we got there for just before 8am and were on our way home by 10. Just as well really as the cars were streaming in by this point and social distancing was, well, non existent.

The first weekend was the same as any other weekend, with a distant background rumbling of this illness coming fast from the other side of the world.

Life has a way of taking over and not giving you a spare moment, and with any spare moments you have, you have to choose wisely what you spend them on.

We heading up to some woodland not far from Nana and Grandad’s, which is on the Sutton Bank ridge line so fairly high. A lot of the snow that had fallen the week before, and only stayed briefly in the majority of places, was still there. James loved it.
We only had a short walk as it was exceptionally cold with all of us feeling the by the time we were heading home. Just a few pictures below of our walk.
I headed back to the house just in time for breakfast and what a breakfast it was. It had all come from Macleod’s in Stornoway and boy was it good. I tried white pudding for the first time and whilst it was nice, I will not be swapping my black pudding for it any time soon. I also tried beef sausages and they were amazing. I will be hunting some of these bad boys out when I get home.
