Oldshoremore. Thursday 6 August

Part of an idyllic holiday in the North Western Scottish Highlands. Lyla and Richard walked from The Bard's House through the wild flower meadow, down the sandy cliffs onto the white beach, at which point the moon broke through the cloudy skies. Then back over the headland, past the grave yard and up into the hamlet. Meanwhile Amber and Steve were driving from Inverness to join us, and we hoped we'd pass them on the road back to the house. Unsure whether they were yet to join us, Lyla and I returned to the house to discover they had not just arrived, but were already in bed and we didn't see them until breakfast!
