Sunset on Alfred

Lottie and I were just heading for home when I heard the ferry, the Alfred, coming round the headland. She sails between Gills Bay, on Scotland's north coast, and St Margaret's Hope, our nearest village, several times a day.  

It's great to have such a reliable ferry so close to home, even when you aren't going anywhere! It carries a lot of commercial freight as well as ordinary vehicles and foot passengers, and is always busy.

Extra is Lottie, posing on a wall, getting her breath back after chasing rabbits!
