I have just taken a friend to the plane for her journey home to Glasgow. We've known each other a couple of years shy of half a century. It's a very comfortable relationship. Sue and her late husband had lived here on Lewis until 2006 but our friendship remains as close as ever.
During the last week we have been blessed by a few days with stunning weather and we made the most of it to see some of the Island's scenes and beaches that we tend to take for granted.

Plus a walk in the Castle Grounds
We also enjoyed plenty of good food and the occasional (as in 5.30pm is an occasion) gin and tonic.
The television hasn't been on for a week. After dinner (by which I mean around 9pm) we played Rummy or dominoes. Unfortunately for me I managed to win only one of the evenings. C'est la vie.
