Up early and left the apartment by twenty to eight. A good drive over to Ullapool – still snow on the hills but I suppose it is still only February! We arrived there just after 9am so time to pop to the Ceilidh Place for coffee (and Ian had a black pudding roll for a second breakfast).

The ferry journey seemed long 4.5/5 hours but at least it was lovely and calm. I slept a little, read my book and ate my packed lunch. Arriving in Lochmaddy on time and then the next 50 mile drive to home – I have to say the roads were bumpier than on the mainland and I was pretty worn out by the time I got home. Nothing an early night won’t fix. It’s great to be home and the neighbour had popped round and put some heaters on for us 🙂
