Apparently today I am to roll eggs, but prior to that am required to roll the aged and fragile father up the hill in his wheelchair so he can roll eggs too. Looks like a glorious day here (Struan).

Want to do a big ride tomorrow but the virus leaves me short of breath if I exert myself. Bummer! http://www.alfa.me.uk

First visited Skye forty years ago with my then fiance of a week or so to stay with my now wife Aunt & Uncle. Fell in love with the place, it was a bit of a fairy tale for various reasons. The ferry back then which made it more of an adventure. Ah... where did the years go, so many memories, so many stories. Apologies for having one of those moments. I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

We all know & go on about post code lottery, well here in Skye Aunty M house has stood vacant & members of the family have been across sorting stuff out only to find on the doorstep homemade scones & other goodies. This morning Sister Law & husband went over & found a dozen fresh eggs. It's times like this & I'm sure Barnacle will back me up what a great community there is on Skye.

One of the great paradoxes Jim, it often takes events such as this to bring out the generosity of humans. Having said that being city dwellers we are constantly reminded that our trips further afield than our concrete and brick boundaries tend to result in very favourable and pleasant dealings with folk.
