seaside

Up early this morning and away down to the ferry terminal at Armadale. I brewed up some coffee while we were in the queue and it was still warm when we reached Mallaig (such a short hop across to the mainland).

An al fresco breakfast inn the sun - I think D looks quite tanned which is probably at least 50% from the wind - and then we were off on our way back home - a journey of just over 220 miles.

We had been away so long that I thought the house might look like Sleeping Beauty's castle, engulfed in vegetation. It was quite lush, but otherwise all looking just as we had left it 16 days ago. The peacock was there by the front door, waiting for peanuts...
