We decided to head to Lochinver today, even though our parcel pick up did not happen yesterday, much to our annoyance. The parcel is a few Christmas gifts that we want to send to New Zealand, and we had to take turns waiting in the cottage all day yesterday to no avail. Anyway today we left the parcel in the garage and a note on the door for the van driver, and set off northwards. I was glad that we did. My arm was very sore and I actually felt quite tearful when we set off. I hurt it while serving out the dinner last night, I think by accidentally twisting it a bit, and I didn’t sleep very well because of it. It also hurts a lot when I tie my shoelaces. However the weather was absolutely beautiful with blue skies and all of the mountains lit up golden by the winter sun, which cheered me up. We bought pies from Lochinver Larder (of course!) and had a really delicious lunch in An Cala café, as well as walking along the front and back. At the river estuary we saw hundreds of seagulls and four seals diving for fish, it was quite the feeding frenzy. When we got home the parcel was, of course, still in the garage. I wish that I had just waited to post it until our return to Glasgow.
