Wednesday afternoon

Although it is sunny today, the strong northeasterly wind keeps it quite cold. We managed only 14C, and the mercury is presently going down again. Went into town for a few purchases, including some reading fodder. I got myself Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (in English) in two volumes for £4.

Tomorrow, I shall be travelling to Holland for a week's break on one of the country's northern islands, followed by a number of days with my father for the purpose of visiting family. I will not have Internet access until June 18th; blog postings from me will be made on The Shell Gallery after that date until my return to Stornoway on June 24th. In a minute, I'll be putting on another picture post.

Beyond that, Atlantic Lines will resume on Friday 25 June.
