Today the winds came.....

But the ferry didn't!

This was the the state of the pier where the ferry docks at high tide. Two sailings were cancelled today which is apparently very rare.
But guess what?.........that valliant little car with wings still made it to the island. 

There were gusts of over 80MPH recorded last night but one islander when asked about the wind strength remarked "just enough to dry your washing"

Just on an informative note, one thing that we can't really get to grips with at the moment (and no one "Dahhn Saaaf" will believe it) is that it is not that cold up here!!!.
We have had one small frost and a smattering of snow since we arrived in December and compared to our last house this place is positively balmy, mind you some of the folks here would say I'm barmy for saying that.




Until next time..............................
