Ooh then she holds my hand
And I lie to get a smile
And she squeezes tighter
I still lie to get a smile
- 'Sweet Amber' Metallica

Rain, rain rain! So much rain this morning - we were hoping to get to go paddling on the beaches near Mallaig, instead we had a peek at them and went for a fry-up. It cleared up a bit, and then we went to the 'Treasures of the Earth' exhibition. Lots of lovely minerals and fossils. I was particularly taken by this bit of amber - it was about the size of my fist. Afterwards it cleared up and we went for a wander and had food in the lovely Ben Nevis Inn.
