Hmm, there's something missing....

Last week, Dave and I took a rare day off together and headed for Lewis in the Western Isles for the day. Just jumping on the ferry as foot passengers meant a distinct lack of transport on the other side but it didn’t bother us as we had a good wander round Stornoway and the Lews Castle grounds in between showers and having a baked tattie in An Lanntair. I'm going to stick my neck out here and admit that Stornoway...well, it's just not that pretty is it? One of the best snaps of the day is of me standing outside an empty butchers shop. Just as well the rest of the island is absolutely stunning.

I bought metres and metres of Harris Tweed when I was out there, so now have enough Harris Tweed to sink a ship but it shall soon be transformed into gorgeous cushions coming soon to a luxury Scottish hamper near you! If anyone would like one sooner, drop me a line and you can get first dibs on your favourite tweed. Mine’s that slatey-grey one at the second-top of this picture. If you think slatey-grey sounds boring, wait till you see it in the daylight and you see the blues and browns running through it – gorgeous.
