Photos From Lewis

I received and email from Spesh this morning.  Not that that's unusual.  Spesh also sent some photos from home.  Whilst most of the UK seems to be having snow and real winter weather the morning on Lewis was brilliant sun although there was a very brisk Lewis breeze whipping up the waves!

      I thought that you'd appreciate Briagha, Fiona.

    Those are lovely photos with picture perfect weather on the Isle of Lewis.
    Most of my UK friends are snowed in and not liking it one bit.
    Briagha looks pooped...please do not disturb.

      I'm sure you will appreciate it Adrian. If nothing else there is plenty of space and not too many people.

    its a fab day in Lewis, even though the windy weather causing ferry disruptions and the usual rush at the supermarket. Got lots washing dry. Just finished the Chess Men, Great end to the trilogy.

    Briagha looks like I felt today after just 20 minutes walk or so in very cold weather (-11)...
    I think these photos inspire me to maybe pick up The Chess Men next.

      -11! That's chilly Monica. I know that walking in the bitter cold, particularly, if it is windy, is exceptionally draining.

      Yes, Carol, unlike humans they have no hang-ups about it.

      With all the dog lessons in the world, Norma, we could never compete with their ability to unwind.

    I thought meteorology was supposed to be a science. What snow? We've had dire weather warnings all week, now extending to Wednesday. We haven't had enough to make even a small snowball. Just because it has snowed at 23 Railway Cuttings, East Cheam, doesn't mean it has everywhere else. Having said that, my seaweed says we're in for strong easterly winds tonight and tomorrow with the possibility of some damage near the east coast.
