Ewan’s Dad’s funeral on Monday was a fond and fine tribute; Ewan and the family did him proud. The hymn was Onward Christian Soldiers which I haven’t heard for ages. I like those rousing old hymns which portray Christians as soldiers fighting the good fight, like Soldiers of Christ Arise, and Jerusalem. There was an excellent purvey at the golf club afterwards, just where Ewan’s Dad would have expected and wanted it to be, in the place where he enjoyed spending his leisure time.
After dropping Ally off at Dunlop and capturing the cats without too much trouble we set off to Ullapool, arriving at about 7.30 p.m. James switched on the heating and lit a fire to warm up the cottage.
On Tuesday we decided to go for a cold and sunny walk along the River Broom, the same walk that we went on in September when Ewan had an unfortunate fall. There were no mishaps this time and we completed the 4 km circuit with pleasant and frosty views along the valley. I would like to explore that side of the river and loch further.
Our four young folks arrived together late in the evening; Chanel had very kindly driven all the way. It was exciting to see them and we all had a nice cup of tea before bedtime.
