Storm Bram continued through the night and into Wednesday; the winds were so strong, according to the weather forecast they reached 90 mph! However it was not until late on Wednesday, when the wind had abated somewhat at about 10.30 p.m. that we finally had a power cut. Luckily we were heading for bed anyway and James lit a candle in the bedroom, it was quite romantic!
We set off south at lunchtime on Thursday, the waterfalls were cascading mightily down the hillsides on our way to Inverness. In the evening I went to book club at Ruth’s. At Chanel’s suggestion we were discussing “How to Kill your Family” by Bella Mackie and we had a really good discussion about it. We had two new members so there were seven of us, it was a great evening with the festive backdrop of Ruth’s Christmas tree. This morning was my last art class at the PPWH, and I finished my painting of frangipani flowers from the photo I took in Zanzibar. I like it although I think it could be better. I have learned so much from our art teacher, Jenny. At the end of the lesson we all went for a Christmas lunch in a dining room at the café, it was a happy and friendly occasion. I love our oldest member Kathleen, who is 93 years old and an excellent artist. She has had such an interesting life. All of the ladies are great fun and I would love to go to another art class there next year.
