Winter Walk

A beautiful but windy winter's day here in Lismore.  We didn't risk going off to Church in case the ferries were off, but it looks like it would have been ok after all.  Tomorrow's Calmac ferry is on amber alert already though - looks like it could be another bumpy day!  

Some locals we met en route

We left the car parked in Achnacroish yesterday, so today's adventure was a family walk there to pick it up.  All seven of us (Colin, myself, Ealasaid, Alasdair, Ruairidh, Collach and Liosach) all headed off on what must be one of the longest walks the boys have been on without getting really tired.  No one even hinted at needing a hug all walk long!



In fact, the boys (and dogs!) were as full of energy when we reached Achnacroish as they were when we set out.  And as for Ealasaid, the first thing she did when she got home was to go straight back out for a run!





It was a lovely walk though, freezing cold but with beautiful views all round of the snowy hills.



more locals...slightly worried we might want to share their snack!

Tha mi air ais!/ I'm back!

Image
Mhothaich mi an-diugh nach d' fhuair mi cothrom sgrìobhadh an seo airson ùine gu math fada.  Mar sin, nì mi geàrr chunntas air choireigin dhe na thachair sna seachdainean a dh'fhalbh. An toiseach, bha coinneamh ann dhen chomann dhealbhach a th' againn ann an Lios Mòr.  Abair latha a bh' ann, le seallaidhean nach gabhadh creidsinn.  Bha sinn ann am Parc, àite ann an Lios Mòr far nach robh mi riamh ron a seo.  Leis na speuran cho gorm is cho soilleir agus leis an t-sneachd cho geal air na beanntan mu cuairt oirnn, cha b' urrainn na b' fheàrr.     I noticed today that I hadn't had a chance to write here for a while.  So, I'll do a kind of summary of what's been happening over the last few weeks.   First of all, we had a meeting of Lismore's photography club.  What a day it was, with unbelievable views.  We were in Park, part of the island I'd never previously visited.  With the clear, blue skies and the snow so

30 Bliadhna/ 30 years

Image
Tha e doirbh a chreidsinn gu bheil 30 bliadhna air a dhol seachad an-dèidh bàs mo sheanmhar. Bidh sinn uile ga h-ionndrainn gu bràth. Cuimhneachain prìseil ged-tà. It’s hard to believe that 30 years have passed since my Gran’s death.  We’ll always miss her. Precious memories though.
