We are surrounded by sheep. Lamb and sheepskin rugs their future. The wildlife here is amazing. Flotillas of geese, goslings in tow silently drift by. The chaffinches continue to pester us for bread which they eat greedily before flying away to feed their young. And the nearby goats, too busy devouring anything in their path to be bothered about us photographing them, and highland cattle that sit on the beach at Laggan Sands, just chilling.
Today the weather has been great. Well great to us after so many weeks of cold and rain. We were able to wash clothes which dried quickly in the warm sunshine and forever present breeze. Then a walk out to a mausoleum we didn't know existed until a lady told us about it when we stayed at Uisken beach a few weeks ago. Hidden amongst a copse this tiny, former church is beautiful. Some of the tiles have been removed from the roof so when you're inside it feels magical, lit by the colours of sapphire, emerald, ruby, garnet and diamonds. A little secret place in the woods.
Just three of us here tonight. There's filming taking place nearby which involves road closures, so we wonder if this may be the reason. We don't mind, it is so peaceful, and the view so beautiful this evening that Angela cannot stop taking photographs. When we return home in a few weeks time it will be nice to look back on them.
Another fine day is forecast for tomorrow, and then the rain returns. So we are heading over to Fionnphort back to the Fidden Farm campsite. A short walk will take us into town where we are hoping to eat lobster and chips from the seafood bar.
