On Tuesday morning we woke to frost on the bedroom windows! It soon disappeared and the sky was blue, so we decided that a walk would be a good idea. At my suggestion we headed to Kinlochewe for a change and we stopped the car on the approach, to admire the classic view of Loch Maree from Glen Docherty, which was hollowed out by the debris from a melting glacier tens of thousands of years ago. It looks stunning with the road winding down to the loch. We continued through Kinlochewe and parked at the Beinn Eighe nature reserve to go for a walk. We soon turned off the main tarmac path to a rougher path of quartz which was more to our taste, and started walking towards Beinn Eighe. To my surprise it started to hail! There were some clouds in the sky but it was so sunny I hadn’t expected that. Luckily it didn’t come to anything.
We visited Maud and David in Kinlochewe for lunch, the first time that we have visited their beautiful home. I knew Maud in Cambuslang when we both had young children, but life was busy for both of us and we only saw each other occasionally. It’s really nice to reconnect now. James got on really well with her husband David, who is the chairperson of a Whisky Distillery, so they had lots to talk about. The drive home to Ullapool was just as beautiful as on the way with pink clouds in the blue sky.
