Sheepskins


Today we decided to go to the Isle of Skye, to buy a sheepskin for Bella from Skyeskyns a company at Waternish an old haunt of ours. The weather was lovely sunny and warm and we had a great journey over! we went on the ferry from Glenelg which was a journey we first took about 29 years ago!
Arrived at the company and took the wee tour around, where they explained what happens to the skins from start to finish. Went upstairs to the shop and purchased a lovely white sheepskin for Bella, Ruaridh also got a treat as we bought a sheepskin for him. Back at the house Bella and Ruaridh both showed us how they loved their respective sheepskins, as they snuggled into them.
We then drove almost to the most westerly point of Waternish, where you look out to The Uists, Lewis and Harris, parked close by to the cemetry where a dear friend of ours who died quite young is buried, popped in to say hello. The weather was amazing sunny and hot and we had a lovely picnic at a picnic area that has been put there, Bella loved it as did we all, Ruaridh had a good roam around. Just finished our meal when it started to drizzle I took Ruaridh for a good run in a field full of buttercups which we really enjoyed! got wet feet haven't done this in years!
Left for Portree where we did our messages, got pizza's for dinner. Arrived home tired and happy, must say Bella the baby and Ruaridh the wee dog behaved so well no moans or groans from them!
Enjoyed our dinner and the red wine, tired now and so to bed. Goodnight.
