At 5:00 is was already light though all the sunshine we’d brought with us was gone and the day was overcast. We were lucky that we could stay in our BnB until 12:00 because no-one else was due in, it gave us time to pack up and relax before our Ferry trip to Ullapool. I wandered around Suardale or Sworedale and chatted to a local who had a great garden set up. Her polytunnel was designed for Orkney and could withstand 100 mph winds, she also had a lovely collection of hens. Inside the polytunnel were Apple Trees, Citrus Trees, Petunias, vegetables etc. She was very excited when I showed her that what she’d been told was a cabbage was actually a cauliflower.
Back at No.14 we packed, tidied up, and went back into Stornoway. Before we went to the ferry we had to pick up the Black Pudding from Charley Barley’s for comparison with the one from Ness
After we’d parked the car in the line up for the ferry we had time to roam about Stornoway one more time. We checked out the souvenir shops and found a nice cafe where we could sit and have a drink. As we walked from the cafe we saw a seagull struggling about on the tidal flat, it had a fish that was proving hard to deal with. We walked back around the harbour where the ferry was about ready to load.
