Friday 19 December

Downright filthy day out here in the Hebrides, with winds already touching force 9 on the Beaufort scale, and forecast to go right up to force 11. Rain lashing down; it's binday, so the emptied bins were at one time blocking the road. No ferry today, it is tied up in Ullapool until 10.30 tomorrow morning when, weather permitting, it will return to Stornoway. Quite a few ferry services disrupted in western Scotland - have a look here.

  1. Aye! We have filthy weather too Guido. Wind and rain. I saw the forecast for Stornoway and thought of you battening down the hatches. I bet it is really dreich looking out over the seawall at that!It has never got light properly here in the Lakes. I have had the lights on since we got out of bed.
    Hope you are as snug as a bug.
    I wouldn't want to be going out on any ferry that's running today.
