Up at 4.30am to catch the ferry but worth the early start as crossing was very calm. High winds developed once we were on the mainland and we felt like we might be blown off the cliffs at JohnЧитать далее
ПутешественникWind was icy but fined up this afternoon. Definitely not t- shirt weather atm. We quite like experiencing another aspect of Scotland.

ПутешественникWhat was the connection with John Lennon ? A song perhaps? Lovely pics
ПутешественникJohn Lennon used to holiday in Durness with his family when he was a boy. Apparently cousins lived in the area. The song 'In My Life' was inspired by his memories of holidays in Durness.

I heard on the Beeb-(eeC) that residents in UK are being asked to go easy on water use ‘cause it’s the driest Spring in xxxx years 😘
ПутешественникI hope you liked Glenmorangie, my favourite whiskey
ПутешественникI'm still trying to acquire a taste for whisky but the 12 year old Glenmorangie is my favourite so far. Have you been to the distillery?

And who won? The British- I’m channeling Chris 🤫
ПутешественникWe were told that both sides had a mix of British, Scottish and some international soldiers. Obviously Govt side had more British though.... so Chris is technically right. 😬
