Sunday - Day of Rest

Sunday is a proper day of rest on the island - it is not so much the law, as the way - church influenced

No-one is allowed to work on a Sunday, as such there are no shops or businesses open - can't do gardening, washing, decorating etc.. No drinking...

It is absolutely a most marvellous idea! :-) Enforced rest!

So we had a morning of relaxation, a lie in, a lazy breakfast, a couple of hours in the lounge - reading and watching TV
Then, leaving the kids behind in front of the TV and computer, Rich and I headed off for a long leisurely walk in the most southern part of Harris


Mini waterfall - irresistable for Richard!



Breathtaking

The view towards Skye

A little bit later when the weather picked up (it got warm folks, I mean really warm, sunny - it was like summer)

On our way to have a late lunch at the Rodel Hotel & Restaurant, we met Sallie and Howard on their way back (to make our lovely evening meal)

Rodel Hotel and Restaurant - bleak looking on the outside, but fantastic on the inside and lovely nosh!

The sheep are just magnificent

Carminish as we came to the end of our five and a half hour walk

Drinks on the patio of Carminish - and the beautiful last knockings of the sun

Five minutes later - gone!
