Things we forgot to tell you and guess what?

We are going back to Harris just before we have our Midge Testing week on Skye. Have just booked three nights B&B for the end of June - we will be on Harris at mid-summer so will get to experience the longest hours of daylight in the UK. Can't wait - although I know we will have to.

Things we meant to mention:
The community tennis court at Bunessan which is planted dead in the middle of a peat bog - with access. All visitors welcomed. One of the most bizarre sights we saw.
The fact that Tesco has managed to get a toehold on the Co-op monopolised island through a small but perfectly located shop in Stornaway. Watch that space; the shop is the first thing many will see as they disembark. No Sunday opening though.
That sparrows were nesting in the walls of Blacksheep House.
A download speed of over 6MB per second - in Stornaway!
The slow and rather pungent death of the shellfish that was still inhabiting the pretty shell I picked up at Gairloch; good job it announced its demise before we got to the airport and security.
The show-winning highland cow at the Great Glen B&B who happily poses for photos.
We watched the seaplane land at Loch Lomond - or rather on the Loch.

Will continue to blog intermittently as time goes on and our plans for the future crystallise (spell check will have a Z in that word) Many things to do and people / agents to speak to before we head back to the islands.
