Back on the road, day five

 In case anyone is wondering why we are not visiting all the tourist sites on Skye, we have been regular visitors for around 38 years so if the weather is awful we just stay in and chill.

Day five started with more snow on the hills behind the cottage and again we had been woken by windy gusts of hail against the windows, leisurely breakfast before driving across to a friends farm shop.

Yasmin owns Island at the Edge selling yarns, knitwear and croft tours. I had originally intended on taking some photos of her animals but was deterred by the driving rain. However the wood stove was on in the shop so we caught up on the gossip.

We bought a present for Yasmin, I hold it doesn't annoy her too much ( she loved it)

Catching up with more friends

Day 3

Monday found us camped up at Edinbane on a camping and caravan site by the side of Loch Greshornish, we have used this site before mainly because its next door to Island at the Edge  owned by the lovely Yasmin and Trevor.

The croft offers everything woolly ,croft tours, knitted items, yarn from their own sheep (black cheviot and Hebridean), hand spun yarn and other sheepy related products.

A croft tour was in progress and , as Trevor also had a job to do, I found myself looking after the shop whilst Ian went for a ride round on his bike. As visitors are still a rare commodity ( restrictions on international travelers etc ) I spent some of the time spinning on Yasmins wheel.

I may have acquired a couple of fleeces, Ian found space beside the spare wheel for them !

More to come ( if you are interested ) x
