Today Christine, Gerry and I called in for our usual morning coffee at the amazing Caora Dhubh coffee shop before setting off on a road trip to Dunvegan, following the wee coastal roads. It was cloudy today but still warm, and the views of distant islands and mountains were fantastic. When James had set off for his guided walk earlier he couldn’t find the car keys and I couldn’t remember where I had put them, so he had to go walking without his gaiters, which he had left in the car. When I told Gerry and Christine about it later I said, “So my name is mud!” to which Gerry replied, “And so will be James’ trousers!” which I thought was extremely funny!
We spent the evening in the Old Inn in Carbost, where we had a tasty dinner in this really lovely, traditional pub. The entertainment was The Canny Ceilidh Band, although when we arrived they were having their dinner, and due to resume later. As time passed, we heard that they had disappeared, until an enterprising bar maid went to find them resting in the hostel next door. When they started playing again they were very good; there was a keyboard player, and accordionist and a drummer. It was a great evening.
