With my surgery scheduled for the 13th at Inverness and the awful weather at the moment I was worried that I wouldn’t get off the island so a couple of days ago booked a flight. Flying from Benbecula the plane stops off at Stornoway, some people disembark there and others travelling onwards stay on the plane, passenger numbers are then boosted by people getting on at Stornoway.

All went smoothly and I got a taxi to a hotel in Inverness – hopefully MrT can get the ferry tomorrow to join me!
