Raasay Times 2

Around the time Grumpy was demonstrating a two steps and knee bog trot near the bothy, her front inner tube exploded at the road end (Windlesham ride encore!). But the Tamworth Four (www.lifeattheendoftheroad.com) seemed unperturbed when we met up with them later; perhaps weightier matters were on their mind like it being their last Thursday on Earth.

Otherwise the kids' arrival has limited us to island walks - Holoman, Hallaig, Dun Caan, etc. Wildlife included stags, seals, herons (nesting) and Raasay vole (dead) amongst the primroses, violets, and emerging rhodies. The plumber, sweep and coalman have left us with a fully working hostel. The guests are at the bothy tonight, so we're looking forward to a Skye cycle ride today.
R***fall since arriving: 0.00cm
