Mountain views from the train

James and I had a walk around the village and the harbour this morning in beautiful weather and then drove to The Storehouse, a very good wee restaurant on the Cromarty Firth north-east of Dingwall, to meet Alison and Hugh. Hugh’s sister Lyndsey had recommended it and it was very good place for lunch, relaxed and spacious with lovely views of the water, and the food was excellent. It was so great to catch up with Alison and Hugh, we had a lovely chat and a laugh. Then James dropped me off at Inverness train station where I caught the train to Perth and then the replacement bus service from Perth to Glasgow. The train was almost empty and I had the most amazing views of the snow-capped Cairngorms as I travelled south. The replacement bus was waiting right outside the station and the staff were very helpful at pointing people to the correct bus but oh dear, oh dear, what a long time the bus took to get from Perth to Glasgow Queen Street. More than an hour and a half; it did stop at Stirling on the way which must have added to the time. I was home by 9 p.m. The house was very quiet without James and the kitties.
