Blowing a hoolie

Well here we are back in Ullapool and the weather is absolutely horrible; very wet and windy. James and I drove up yesterday afternoon with the cats and switched on the heating and lit the fire to warm up the cottage. This morning we did a food shopping at Tesco for the next few days; we are going to spend the end of 2022 and the start of 2023 here with Ally, Cat, Davie and Chanel. From there we walked down to the front to look at the progress of the construction work there, at which point the rain became even heavier and we scuttled to the shelter of the Bothy café for lunch. When we turned the corner from West Shore Street into West Lane the wind blew the rain hard right into our faces. It was very cosy in The Bothy and our table was right beside the wood-burning stove. Now we’re back in the cottage where James has lit the fire.

Update in evening: Davie and Chanel have arrived safely in Ullapool despite snow falling heavily around Aviemore and lying on the road between Inverness and Ullapool.
