A Journey to Town


Just before I go and begin my packing ...

You remember, don't you, that the Builder and I are heading to London for a few days.

This trip to London is his Christmas present from me. You remember - that Christmas present that he paid for, and that is shared with me. Best kind, I say.

Anyway, I'm not on here to talk about the trip - I'm sure there will be plenty time for that - but to show you a  few photos from yesterday's journey to town. I didn't have my camera, so the photos are from my phone, but the day was so lovely, I couldn't resist doing some stopping and clicking en route.



Nice place to come for some trout fishing...



I'm guessing the folks here are hoping for a whole lot of rain to fall this coming month.



Looking north 



and looking back towards Stornoway.



The day was almost windless, and even though the actual temperature was only a few degrees above freezing, it felt gorgeously mild in the sun.



On the home straight, I stopped to take a photo of this beautiful swan.



And to finish off, I snapped this jet which was already heading across the Atlantic. The smoke above the horizon was from the still burning moor fire. This was the 'plane I snapped five photos back, taken from the Barvas Moor.

  8. It seems the Gujarat investors are returning to
    real estate business after an interval. But many people don't know how to earn profits this way. This all depends on where you are thinking of investing.
