Now, where was I?

Oh, yes, having a nice few days off with my sister in law & uncle in law (SIL & UIL !) This is rather a long post so either make yourself a coffee or just flick thru quickly!

But first, thanks so much for all those kind comments about my debut as a cat walk user! There probably won't be a second time but it was a great experience & I now realise why a model won't get out of bed for less than £10k, they're worth every penny! My boys are often in the back pages of the local rag as they're all sporty but hey, I hit the front page!!!! I'm in a group photo & luckily I'm wearing the white outfit & NOT revealing all!

I got featured by a home decor shop (?) in return for adding this link...well ok I guess!

Lazy Boy Recliners


Forgot to add this pic of a bank from our last walk.



I can definately see a panel in stitch from this - on my list...!

We then went on a trek up the west coast of the Island as there is good fishing from the rocks below Neist Point Lighthouse according to my Middlest - we've had the pleasure of eating the fish he caught - pollock & macrel.


A very different coastline to the south end of the island.







You can stay here at Neist Point lighthouse.


I tried to capture the gannets while not being blown off the cliff edge






& the boys  fishing down below




See them right down there? Bear in mind my UIL is 84 next week!



me away from the edge - I have slight vertigo! (that & the wind made this crooked ;)





The other side of the lighthouse



where there are these amazing sculptures made by many visitors - we always have to change something, leave our mark; I did.










My SIL by the hoist



wire (I can't spell hawsers!) beneath the hoist



Some wonderful textures & rock formations







a decaying door at the top of the path that runs up such a big hill, but we made it! 



A beautiful gate to the lighthouse I forgot to add earlier (I get frustrated trying to move pics about!)



On the way up to Neist Point we passed these turbines - a young lad was up recently doing a dissertation on these in the landscape & was interested  the artistic point of view from, my  DH really, as a landscape painter.



I wonder if they can hear them?



I love this shed



If you're still here, thank you for letting me share my day with you.
