Woke up this morning to snow on the hills of Harris and very low temperatures. Oh, went on the bus to Stornoway, from where I'm typing this. Bus driver gave me a handwritten slip of paper, 1 cm wide, saying I had a return Kershader - Stornoway. That's the islands for you.

Well, not that much happened on the shopping trip, except I had to reduce the 4 bags of shopping to just 1. Weather wasn't too bad, a hazy sun trying to poke through the high cloud. Returned to Kershader at 3pm, and decided to go for a wee walk in the general direction of Garyvard, go through the obligatory bogs on the south side of the road, and heading back when light started to fail at 4.15. Thought I'd attend a meeting of the Pairc Trust in Cavarsta, so jumped on the bus at 6.40. Unfortunately, it was pitch black in Cavarsta, it started to snow with a vengeance and I could not find the venue. It was only later that evening that I found out the meeting took place - right next door to the hostel. Groan.
