Yesterday we set off north to Ullapool, our first visit since September. It was a cold frosty morning and we started out in mist, which had dissipated by the time we reached Perth, although tendrils of mist continued to be swathed around the hills. The branches and twigs of the leafless trees along the roadside were white with frost and looked very pretty. As the sun started to get lower we saw Ben Wyvis tinted a soft shade of blush pink and the snow on Beinn Dearg was flushed pink too. It was getting quite dark when we drove into Ullapool even though it was only 4 p.m. The cottage was in good order when we arrived and James soon got the fire blazing. Tom seemed very happy to be back in Ullapool and explored the cottage and garden, and Flora seemed fairly content as well. Today James did some gardening and I did a grocery shop and then we went for a walk around the village in the winter sunshine, and had lunch in the Cult Café. It’s nice to be back in Ullapool.
