That completes the set, I think, although the seals didn't make the cut. 

Well, that's a lovely place -  Tiree.  No rabbits, but thousands of lovely hares, as well as all the rest. And all the Rest, albeit mostly the walking around getting up at 5.00, at the beach with a baby by 8.00 kind of rest instead of the actual resting kind of rest. 

The ferry trip home was marvellous.  If you had told me last Sunday morning as I tried to get the fire lit in a howling gale and driving rain to bring the house into the 20th century that I would be eating an ice-cream  on the deck of the ferry on the way back I wouldn't have believed it.  All those sunny beaches, but the winter fleece never came off the whole week  as the temperature stayed around 6 degrees. 

Oh, did I miss anything in the news while I was away?  We'll just carry on as before, so.
