Going to the shops

Although we have a lovely mini-supermarket in Aultbea, just a mile away, where you can get all sorts of goodies sometimes you do need a few things that they do not stock.
The next village, Gairloch, is 13 miles away and boasts such things as a bank, a dentist, builders' merchant and the like. It may seen a long way to go but the drive is spectacular and makes it all worthwhile and hardly any traffic either.

These photos were taken coming back home from Gairloch to Aultbea this week.

My favourite tiny island

Looking a bit bleak this day

Going to collect chicken feed from a small hamlet eight miles from Poolewe is another trip that also gives me pleasure as the road follows the coastline for most of the way and even on a rainy day it is still beautiful with lots of opportunities to take photographs.

This boat hasn't seen the water for a long time.


It would have been such a lovely boat in it's early days.

The grey and blue mirror the local colours.
