The beach at Nairn

We have had a splendid weekend. Cornel arrived on Friday evening and we had a very pleasant evening with him. He had asked earlier this week if he could stay with us because he was going to climb a couple of the western Fannichs. We explained that we already had plans to go to Nairn on Saturday, but that he was very welcome to stay in the cottage anyway. 

On Saturday Cornel was already up and away climbing his hills by the time we set off to Nairn to see Alison and Hugh. After a cup of tea we went for a lovely walk along the broad, sandy beach in the afternoon, and then Alison made us a delicious dinner and we had a convivial evening chatting and laughing.

We had a leisurely Sunday morning and then headed back to Ullapool to see the kitties; Cornel had fed them before he set off home, and he messaged James that they had given him lots of attention! Luckily he is a cat person.
