Summertime.....and the living is wet
Posted: Tuesday, 22 July 2008 |
Evening plane got cancelled today, fog, mist etc. I'd hate to be marooned on the Mainland.
Went walking in the hills of South Uist today, didn't see a living soul, wonderful. The weather closed in, I got soaked and eventually found my way back to the car. The dog was happy, he'd had a good walk.
What is it about these islands.......so remote (if you're in London) and yet for us so accessible. I spent 3 hours wandering about in the pouring rain and didn't see another human being.....in July. Apparently some people come up here on holiday for just such an experience and pay money to do so.
I get it all for free.
Actually the first part of the walk was fantastic, the sun was shining and the hills were beautiful. Next time I'll look at the local weather forecast, and perhaps wear the correct clothing!!
