Return to Ullapool

We have certainly made the most of our newly permitted day trips around Scotland this past week! Troon on Wednesday, St Andrews and Dundee on Friday, Glencoe on Saturday and then Dunlop on Sunday.
Our visit to Dunlop was to celebrate Cat’s birthday again and as the weather continued to be warm and sunny, we were able to sit in Gerry and Christine’s beautiful garden for drinks and then a delicious dinner. 
And then on Monday we set off northwards to the cottage in Ullapool. When we left there on the 12th November we thought that the second lockdown would last for about three weeks - little did we know that the second lockdown would last until Christmas and be quickly succeeded by a third lockdown. It was in fact five months before we were allowed back. Monday 26th April was the first day that people were allowed to stay overnight outside our council areas, so at 9 a.m. we were in the car ready to go. The cats knew that something was up because they both sat at the corner of the house watching us pack the car. We stopped off in Nairn to have lunch with Alison and Hugh. It was great to see them again after all these months. 
When we arrived at the cottage we were so happy to be in our wee home from home, and we had a walk round the village later. It’s so lovely to be back here.
