Grandma would have been 96 years old yesterday on Sunday. I miss her. It was a fine morning and James and I had a nice walk up to Loch Achall, where we had a coffee before retracing our steps. James actually walked on for another kilometre before turning, and he caught up with me at the quarry. We had lunch in our favourite Cult Café before returning to the cottage, having walked about 12 km in total. James has been laying concrete to repair the lowest two steps on our path over the past couple of days. It involves a lot of skill and he has worked hard. Yesterday morning while he was working on the steps he was attacked by thousands of midges and had to go straight into the shower to get rid of them. I washed his work clothes straight away to make sure there were none lurking in them! James came back from his walk today with some excellent gossip about a Netflix true crime drama that will be filming shortly in the Rhidorroch Estate. And so our five weeks in Ullapool are nearly at an end. We have been so lucky with the weather, we have had some lovely visitors and have had a lot of fun.
