Second Day

Unloading at the Manse
After a first night in the manse, camping on the floor, we were glad to see the removal van arrive. The unloading took all afternoon, but by teatime, the guys had headed off for a well-deserved weekend.

During the evening the sun came out giving us a beautiful view over the Kyle of Tongue. The tide was out and the sandbanks and mudflats were shining and glistening in the sunlight. The second evening.

The Second Day began this morning with a glimpse of sunlight on the slopes of Ben Hope. Today the clouds are higher than yesterday, but the summit at 3041 feet (927m) is still shrouded in cloud. Perhaps it will clear later in the day.

Our second full day in our new home beckons. A day full of unpacking, but also with a visit by friends from Edinburgh. They will be staying in Tongue over the weekend.
