Solid ground

Had to be up at 5.30 this morning to catch the first boat (7.20 am, criminal!) to Westray for a couple of days work. Not only am I not at my best that early but the sea was, well... swell!

Whilst I put my head down and pretended I was still tucked up in bed Steven did his salty sea dog impersonation and the boys* passed the time watching Pingu and Bob the Builder on the telly.

Once on dry land there followed a very successful and productive day, a damn fine dinner in the hotel and a very early to bed tucked up in the cosy wee hostel.



* The boys came with us as they had a day off school. In service teacher teaching kind of day off.
