An update between visits

In the two weeks we have been home we have sent details of five plots to Mary from Dualchas. Four of these are on Harris and one on Skye.
She will be visiting them for us in a couple of weeks time to consider the size, levels, connections, access and to give us an idea of what type of building she could fit on the site / get planning for. Planning has lapsed on three of the plots so she will also look into that for us.
She will be travelling to Harris on her bike! Not sure if this is motorised or not. 
As stated in the last post, we are returning to Harris and Skye at the end of June, beginning of July. This time we are spending a week on Skye as we only had one day there in March (and it rained and it rained) There are several areas of Skye that we haven't even visited yet and quite a few attractive looking plots.
We will be travelling via accommodation in Lockerbie and Invergarry then sailing from Uig to Harris for three nights. Back to Uig for a week in the south of Skye. A few days walking being planned (getting fit now) as well as a further meeting with Mary and visits to several plots on Skye.
After this we will be making the decision regarding which island and then the hunt begins in earnest - or we make an offer on that perfect plot we have fallen for.
The photos we (Gary) took are making good progress in the photo lab (second floor of the house) and some of them are spectacular. Will be choosing one to have printed on canvas - trouble is at the moment there around 12 contenders and he hasn't finished processing them all yet. Gary is also in the process of setting up a new photography website where he will showcase some of the best he has taken. Also looking for photo competitions as some are of a high enough standard to be winners.
Meanwhile life at home goes on with redundancy a reality and work now finished - there are a couple of options being considered at the moment and we have plans A to D that would allow these options to work with the build! Also finalising the set up of my new limited company.
More exciting times ahead; for now considering another (longer) cycle ride to continue the fitness training. 
Will update again before we head off, and of course when we receive Mary's report on her visits.
