Sandaig

Today we decided to go to to Sandaig this is Gavin Maxwell country, it is here he lived with his otters and wrote the book "The Ring of Bright Water." Weather was OK not overbright and a light drizzle started on the walk down. Ruaridh loves being back in the N/W and was running in and out of the woods. The road down has been a victim of much storm damage, the last time we came down the path was strewn with fallen trees. Someone has started a clean up operation, lots of trees sawn through so that the way down is clear. Had a great time when we got there, took photographs for our blips, walked through the river over to the beach, the tide was in so could only make the one. Hoped to pick up some mussels but the water was to deep for us to get them, sometime this week? Ruaridh had the time of his life running like mad through the shallow water and the sand, on the way back in the woods he must have gone in a bog what a state he was in all black underneath!! he had a good wash in the river on the way home.
Did not do much on arriving home everyone rather tired after the long walk! Started to sew Bella's wee red jumper together.
Made Italian leek quiche, chips and green beans for dinner.
Watched "Travels with a Tangerine" on BBC4 new series following the travels of Ibn Battutah in the 14th century. Interesting.
Just going to have apple pie and custard. Goodnight
