We had a pleasant wee half day out in Inverness today. We had lunch in the Marks & Spencer‘s café in the town centre. This also gave us the opportunity to stock up on a few items for the freezer. Then after a quick trip to the bottle bank, we went to the Vue cinema to see the much anticipated film of Maggie O’Farrell’s book, Hamnet. I enjoyed it, and it was fairly true to the book, although it missed out an important thread about the approach of the plague which I think is a pity. And it was much more about Anne (Agnes) Shakespeare than about Hamnet, whereas the book had more about Hamnet’s life; somehow it lacked something of the humanity of the book. We enjoyed chatting about it on the way back and arrived in Ullapool before dark.
