Hebridean Weather

December 7, 2007 on 7:51 pm | In Uncategorized |

The end of the week draws near with the prospect of some red wine in front of the fire but what a week. The weather has been typical December weather, wild and windy, the ferry doing its dance with the gales.

I have been ‘first aiding’ teaching two courses this week and watching the weather through the windows, so not all bad. I have been itching to get the bike out and try it out on the roads here but I guess it will have to wait. There is a prospect of surf over the weekend and I am teaching power boating next week and hopefully I will get some pictures.

There was one stunning moment when I was out running at lunchtime (we have entered the Might Deer Stalker in March - a moment of weakness) and as I ran I caught a glimpse south down the Minch towards Keppoch Head with the gun metal grey water and the headlands diminishing into the dark brooding sky and it made the pain worth it.
