First Day

Well it was 8:30 in the evening when we finally arrived in Tongue yesterday - the first evening.

The journey was uneventful. We were driving gently, since neither of us had driven Edinburgh to Tongue in one go. On previous trips we had always swapped drivers part way along the road.

But for this trip we had both cars with us, so there was no co-driver! We did swap cars at Inverness. It was good to be able change driving positions. My car led the whole way, with Liz driving it from Edinburgh, and me driving it from Inverness.

Andrew chose to sit in my car the whole way. I don't whether that was because he liked my new stereo, or my car-seat is more comfortable, or that he couldn't be bothered changing over!

Up above you see the removal van being loaded up in Edinburgh. Below you see our two cars parked at our new home in the manse at Tongue. The advance party has arrived and eagerly awaits the arrival of the removal van, which spent the night in Inverness. The van should be halfway here by now, and they hope to finish unloading by the end of the day.

There was evening, and there was morning - the first day! Genesis chapter 1 verse 5.
