Howling winds!

I didn’t take many pics today as I stayed back with son, his girlfriend and baby Ivy.  They were both pretty tired so Ivy and I went for a walk with her in her back pack.  The rest of the party went to see the puffins at Lunga and had a pretty horrendous trip over in the wind.  I think seeing the puffins, a dolphin and a lot of seals made up for it but in the case of A, only just!

Spent a lot time looking up flowers and reminding myself of things I knew from the many summers here.  I think the white orchids that surround the house are lesser butterfly orchids but i spent most of the day confidently telling everyone they were twayblades…. There are masses and masses of orchids this year. 

Iz had managed to cook a chicken pie before she left which was impressive! 

This is a pic of Toechtamhor which V and I are staying in for only the second time - it’s very lux @treshnish!
