Day 191, 11 January 2013, Arrived Euston Station at 7.47 am (roughly). Cabbed to St Pancras Station (pictured). Dumped massive bag (34kg!). Said "hello" to ski bag. Walkies! We didn't need to get the Luton Airport train from St Pancras until 2.30 pm, so we took off for a walk through Kings Cross and Bloomsbury. Had a stupendous start to the day at about 9 am - a Builder's Breakfast. There must be some strapping builders in London because this cooked breakfas...

Day 190, 10 January 2013, Final day in Knott and off on adventures this afternoon. Thankfully we packed yesterday so this morning was just tidying up and cleaning out the fridge (which we then called "lunch"). Don, the best cab driver on Skye came and picked us up at 2.30 and we headed into Portree to say goodbye to new friends and catch the bus to Fort William. Stunning sunset scenery on the way back (see picture) - particularly Eileen Donan castle backlit wi...

Day 189, 9 January 2013, Knott -Packing day. Printing day. Sad day. Aye. Our time in the restful wilds of Skye is drawing to a close just as the day draws to a close with the sunset over Knott. We had a last drive into Portree to visit the printer at the Visitor Centre and print out the reams of tickets and what not for the next 6 weeks of travelling. We've so enjoyed having 10 days in one spot and everything in our bag certainly enjoyed being out and abou...

Day 188, 8 January 2013, Knott to Broadford, over the Skye Bridge, to the Kyle of Lochalsh. And back again. Just for a look and a birthday drive - Quick. Out of bed. Into shower. Into jeans. Wait. Minor delay whilst chase jeans around the studio (need a wash). OK. Into jeans. Jumpers. Hat. Raincoat. The Sun - She Shines! Out the door at the incredibly respectable time of 11.30 am. Whoa! What was that? Jets! This is the neighbourhood where a fishing boat on...

Day 187, 7 January 2013, Waternish and www.skyeskyns.co.uk - It stopped raining for a short while after lunch and fine weather threatened to break out (but didn't managed to hold true to it's promise). In any event we launched ourselves out of the house and drove down the road to visit the boutique tannery at Skye Skyns. Now in theory, being a New Zealander by birth, I at least should know how to make sheepskins from scratch. But I didn't. So the demonstratio...
