What a difference a day makes! We went to bed last night with the rain battering against the windows and woke to glorious sunshine. I decided to walk to the lighthouse, while James headed up to Loch Achall. My walk was only 5.7 km but it was rough going! The grassy paths and pebbly beaches were fine, but there were lots of rocks to climb over. It was also increasingly hot; luckily I had taken plenty of water. The views over the loch and towards the summer isles were stunning. There were lots of sea birds flying about, and little fishing boats and a couple of yachts out on the water.
I messaged James and he kindly offered to pick me up from the lighthouse by car. By the time I arrived there I was rather hot and bothered but James had a lovely surprise for me - he had brought a picnic lunch with him and two deckchairs! So we sat beside the lighthouse (on the shady side for my sake!) and had avocado toast, coffee and bananas. I felt quite restored after that, and we sat and chatted while enjoying the view.
