The Days are Long

So now we're on Barra, it's half past ten at night and still light outside.
I was woken by thunder and lightning at 5 this morning so it's been a long day. Driving up the motorway, lots of spray and roadworks, unpacking the bikes in Oban and then a five hour ferry ride to Castlebay.
Most magical...a pod of over 20 porpoises swimming alongside us and leaping up out of the water. Everyone who saw them laughed with delight.
We met some other cyclists on the ferry and when D met us on the jetty it turned out that one of them had worked with him in Dumfries. So she has come to stay in the spare room of our cottage tonight.
Sarah is wide awake now as she had a nap on the ferry, but I am ready for bed . Zzzzzzzz.
