View across the Outer Harbour of Stornoway

Monday 22 February

Good morning from a sunny but very cold Stornoway. Overnight low was a teeth-chattering -7C at 7 am, within an hour of sunrise. Since then, the sun has set to work and jacked the mercury up to +3C an hour ago. There is ice on the waters of the basin across the road from me (and that's an inlet from the sea, to clarify for new readers), which will now melt quickly.

The golf course at Scarista, Harris, has won a £64k improvement grant from Sportscotland, in spite of not being open 7 days a week. Local Sabbath observance requires the course to be shut on Sunday, and that initially jeopardised the grant. Quiet talks over the past year have result in the grant being awarded, although the course remains closed on Sundays.

    I do love the beach and one would almost think it was summertime looking at your picture of it. The blue sky is beautiful! Thank you for my trip to the beach today! It's a great way to start my Monday! Hope yours is a great one too!

    It is actually a summer picture, one I pulled out of my archives.
