On Sunday morning after breakfast, we weren't quite sure what to do. We considered heading north a bit and taking a detour home via the Oikle, but instead opted for a short drive up the Brae a little, where we left the car and headed up Ullapool Hill - just a mile the sign said.
It was such a beautiful day - and a very pleasant walk, with wonderful views of Loch Broom, the mountains and out to the ocean and the islands. It didn't take long - short of an hour and a half there and back. Here's some of the photos we took:
We did do one slight detour on the way home - via Strathpeffer and Dingwall. We stopped off for a coffee, tea and a scone at the Victorian Tea-room situated in the old railway station building:
So that was our weekend. It's back to work for me now, but not quite back to the old routine for Jo - Luca is staying with us for "3 sleeps", as he puts it.
Some progress is being made on our house "projects". The plastering in the downstairs loo is now under way, and we've ordered the floor covering, so we'll be able to get it - and the kitchen - painted soon. We've also ordered a new mattress - we've had ours for 12 years now, and it's past time to replace it. Oh - and we're getting a new family car some time soon. We've decided to be environmentally friendly and cut back from 3 to just 2 cars, so we'll trade in Jo's and Ross' cars and get something a bit newer.
