Badger Galore
Staying ‘Up Over’ for a while.
Home from Home.
So... we have spent the last few weeks around and about in Cumbria with family and friends...
In the Second City of the Empire
So...we left Lewis and Harris on Tuesday. The ferry trip back to Uig on Skye was a lot rougher than our journey out but we had been told that sitting at the back of the boat made for a slightly smoother trip. We then drove the five hours down to Glasgow.
Our Glasgow accommodation was good but hadn't realised it was right next to a railway line. Happily only two trains seemed to use it, one at 10.00 pm and the other at 5.30 am. Both times it felt like an earthquake as the carriages rumbled past.
Our full day in Glasgow was wet but we had a good wander and met up with some of Will's friend's and Steiner mum's. We called in to look at the revamped Burrell Collection before heading back to Penrith today.
Farewell 'Haggis Galore!'
Och No!
Och Aye!!!
Exploring Harris...and a bit more of Lewis!
So...Monday was a very bluery day. We headed out on the road to Hushinish, dodging cows and sheep just loungng about on the road but nearly got blown away when we got out of the car, so we jumped back in again and headed back to Tarbert.
Och No!
Och Aye!!
Then we drove down the western side of Harris to the bottom most point at Rodel and St Clement's Church and then drove back along the eastern side on a very narrow road. We then headed back North and went out to Uig Sands and found some more beautiful beaches and ended the day back in Tarbert with dinner at The Harris Hotel.
