Fisherman's Friend

My voice is slowly coming back, but I still have a sore throat so today as we were going to the village shop for messages I thought I would try and get something to soothe my throat. The other day I bought Strepsils which were helping but are quite expensive, when I spotted on the shelf a packet of Fishermen's Friend. Wow! these are a type of cough toffee manufactured in Fleetwood Lancashire, some people there believe they are the cure for a lot of ills! I had an uncle who popped one in his mouth every morning and swore by them. Well two down watch this space!
Lovely sunshine for most of the day, Christine popped over with some gingerbread and lemon cake, had a cup of tea then she came to the beach with us. Ruaridh had already had an adventure up on the hill and had rushed off after a rabbit, when he had set of originally to meet Christine. We had a lovely walk on the beach Graham took photo's, we walked and skimmed stones into the sea for Ruaridh and he loved this.
Back home we had lunch then Christine left and John H arrived, he was surprised that Graham had finished stripping the room, he will be here on Monday to start the rebuild!
Corn chowder for dinner with crackers lovely .
Over to the Isle of Skye tomorrow to shop and maybe have a trip to Elgol. Bye.
