Just me and Basil this week...

Sue is in Kent this week, on one of her regular visits to see her mother and catch up with her southern friends. That leaves me and Basil in charge of looking after things on Skye. Other than a laundry and ironing mountain, and a few 'turn arounds' of our cottages, there's not a huge amount for me to do, so while down at Rowan Cottage mowing the lawn yesterday, I took the chance to have a walk in Kinloch, and found this -

There's no road, or even a decent path to this spot. But the cottage has recently been renovated. It'll be someone's little piece of heaven on earth!

Here's another bit of South Skye from yesterday's walk - Kinloch Forest - where a pine plantation is being replaced with native broadleaf trees to recreate a natural landscape. Errr... shouldn't they be getting rid of the road as well...??!

Beautiful photos as usual. :) How is the midge population this summer and, more importantly, how is your hand doing after your recent accident?

Hi Jill, Good to hear from you. It's Skye that's beautiful - I just point the camera and press the shutter! The midges seem to be having their summer break - there are very few around just now. And the hand is healing really well, thank you!
