It was another fine day on Islay. It started with a beautiful sunrise and a rainbow and later on we visited Dunlossit Estate office where we found out that the last piggies left Islay last week. They will be missed! Then we found ourselves in and around Port Ellen where we had a couple of wee walks. Annika spent some time on the swings next to Ramsay Hall, I have been inside the Screen Machine for the first time which was nice. We have visited Laphroaig Distillery, seen many Geese at the head of Loch Indaal and in the afternoon we went to see the Hastings family in Port Charlotte where we had a great time and dinner! What a wonderful day it was as you can see from the images J

Sun, 17 Oct 2010 13:25:00 -0700 Mixed day on Islay http://isleofislay.posterous.com/mixed-day-on-islay http://isleofislay.posterous.com/mixed-day-on-islay

It was a bit of a mixed day on Islay but generally it was a real autumn day. There were quite a few rain showers, although not heavy, there was mist, some wind and an occasional clear spell later on the day. We even had some moments when we saw the sun. And there were the geese, thousands of them roosting at the head of Loch Indaal and more were arriving when we passed Bridgend at dusk. Donald from Persabus told me that the weather tomorrow will be really bad so we probably go to Portnahaven to see some wave action. Whatever happens, I’ll keep you posted on our whereabouts!
