I noticed yesterday that it was completely dark outside in Ullapool by 4 p.m. In fact the sun had set just after 3.30 p.m! We have had oil delivered for the boiler and a big sack of logs delivered for the fire, so we are all fuelled up for the winter. I have also done a bit of Christmas shopping around the village.
The wind and rain were so wild last night that when James and I were lying in bed we were woken by a spray of rain on our faces! We like to have the window open for fresh air when we sleep and even in winter we have it a wee bit open, but we have never been spritzed by rain before! The bed isn’t even right underneath the window; the rain must have been blown in horizontally. Needless to say James jumped out of bed and slammed the window shut.
We were quite efficient in our packing and tidying and cleaning this morning and by 10.30 we had put the cats in the car with minimal fuss and were on our way south. This evening social butterflies James and I were out at different Christmas meet-ups; James was in Glasgow with friends and I was at my EK book club Christmas dinner. We both had enjoyably festive evenings.
