Pottering about the place

Hello!! just a few photos I've taken around Skye during our mornings off so far.

This is Hamish at the pier in Broadford, which is the town closest to us here at Kinloch Lodge. Its about 7 miles away (which doesn't mean much to me because I still think in km). There's a supermarket there and stuff even though it is only a small town, its nice for us to go in there every week or so just so we don't get complete cabin fever here!

There are lots of strange beers here

Some of the staff that also live here; Mon and Ben (Aussies), and Jeanette (South Africa). All good value :)


Hamish at Beinn Na Caillich, the mountain over Broadford. There's a Norwegian Princess buried up there - saucy Mary!

Scottish sheep! They actually have 4 horns, but for some reason they remove only 2 of them and leave the front set. We thought maybe it was so the sheep could gore snakes. Or hang their socks out to dry.

This says "Welcome to Isleornsay" in Gaelic. Isleornsay is another even smaller town in the opposite direction of Broadford. We walked there on the way to Armadale, which is where the clan Donald centre is, and is also where a ferry goes back across from Skye to the mainland.

We had to buy really warm hats as its already quite chilly here! It was -1 degree the other morning! Can you imagine how cold its going to get in winter?!?!?!?

The kiwivan

Here it is; our new home.


It has a lounge, kitchen with sink, gas oven and cook-top, and a fridge! awes!



It's really nice to have a bit of extra space and our own bathroom etc, so we're really happy with it :) Just a wee bit cold in the am!!

Miss you all!!

Finished!

Hello all! I've finally finished blogging our Haggis adventures (they're further down the page under Inverness). I haven't got around to putting all the photos up on flickr yet, but I will do soon. For now, I have put a bunch up on my facebook page if you're keen for a look.
