This is part two of my Isle of Lewis posts.

Now I know why the Cuillin Mountains are so-named, for ‘cooling’ they were. M and I woke on Saturday morning on the Isle of Skye to the sight of snow all around.

Dyserth, Imbolc, Sunday 2nd February 2009 “Of this earth”? Well, in terms of a learning experience it was definitely out of this world. It felt like we should have had a soundtrack of Canned Heat singing ‘On The Road Again’ as Kal and I drove purposefully into Wales on Sunday. Our purposefulness was due to … Read More “Dyserth: Of this earth? (Part 1)” »
