25 years married

We don't normally celebrate wedding anniversaries, for various reasons, mainly that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this man & didn't need a piece of paper to proove it (isn't that what the guy usually says?!) But married we got & just to say having repeated my vows after a priest in a beautiful church on a truly lovely day I believe & have kept every one of them....well, maybe I've gotten a little cross & impatient now & then ;)

25 years is pretty impressive, no? Not forgetting the 5 yrs, 1 month & 23 days that came before....of course - there wouldn't have been a knot to tie without them.

I've no idea why my 'and' words aren't coming out right...oh well ;)

We planned lunch in the UK's most remote pub The Old Forge Inn

 

We could have got a trip on a RIB & gone screaming across the Sound but I fancied the ordinary CalMac ferry followed by a trip on the Knoydart Ferry.

A Tern above - can you see it? by Armadale, where you get the ferry. Birds just never fly right in front of me!

Busking at Mallaig 1/2 hr from Armadale - not a desperately salubrious spot, but at least he's trying ;) No I haven't altered the sky, just used 'auto correct' ! Couldn't have been better weather.

Organised graffitti showing repairing fishing nets

Real net  repair

A clete?

lots of old rope - ooh, I just want to dive right in!

On the way to the next ferry we saw these 2 guys struggling to get this bulls head back in the truck, well one guy hardly even moves - he's really holding onto the nose ring there!

Clinbing down to the ferry you look under the new pier to part of the old pier - out of focus but stunning down there. I could have explored for ages if I'd brought my tripod.

knobs on the boat

the anchor at the front - got a bit vertiginous here!

another fabulous part of the boat, not sure what it is tho, I'm just being arty farty ;)

Well,  that's 15 plus pics & we haven't left yet, I'll show you more next week if you're still with me!
