The weather here in Ullapool has been appalling over the last few days; very rainy and very windy. The wind was blowing down the chimney so loudly that we had to turn up the volume on the television yesterday evening. However we have not been downhearted; it has been cosy in the cottage and we have been doing some cooking, reading and walking around the village when the rain lets up. In fact James doesn’t even wait for the rain to let up, he goes out for his couple of hours walk every morning up along Loch Achall no matter the weather and has now surpassed his annual steps record (from 2021) and is on target to have walked nine and a half million steps by the end of the month.
On Saturday we had a very nice lunch with Alison and Hugh at the Storehouse near Dingwall, where they have a really excellent lunch menu and friendly efficient staff. Then after a visit to Simpsons Garden Centre in Inverness (which seemed to be the epicentre of Christmas decorations!) we went to the cinema to see Elf, our old favourite Christmas film! I can hardly believe that it’s now twenty-one years old and just as funny and joyful as ever.
