Elgol

Today dawned sunny and cold with a ground frost covering the garden and the field, nevertheless we decided to go ahead with our trip to the Isle of Skye. We had to go to the Co-op at Broadford to get messages so decided to go onto Elgol a place we have wanted to visit for a wee while. Our neighbour Christine came with us and off we set, stopped on the way up the hill to go into the woods to let Ruaridh have a run, soon on our way again.
The road to Elgol is lovely, with the snow covered mountains and the shoreline, passed a couple of lochs that were full of tall grasses with the sunlight sneaking through them. Wonderful to see the islands of Rhum, Eigg, Muck and Canna from this side only seen them from the Isle of Muck before they looked to be so close as to touch them.
Not too keen on Elgol quite a lot of cars there, forgot this is school holidays for some parts of the country! Lovely view of the mountains towering above the ocean, didn't stop as quite busy! Would have loved a cup of tea and something to eat no joy didn't even see a cafe though Graham said there were two.
On the way home visited this old graveyard (have forgotten the name of where it was) it was lovely, old gravestones struggling to be seen amidst the abundance of daffodils. Took Ruaridh for as walk on the shore, the spot was so peaceful and quiet felt like one had entered a different world.
Back home mug of tea and cream crackers, two pieces of cake I was ravenous-comfort food :)
Graham made dinner rice and vegetables with broccoli and mushrooms in a sauce lovely.
Just going to bed. Goodnight.
