The road to the isles

We are away this weekend to stay in Helen's lovely eco house on the west coast and somewhere to the right on this photograph, part of my 60th birthday present last year. You can see the house here but I will be telling you all about it when I get back. The area is quite remote from the point of view that the shop only gets milk delivered on a Tuesday and mobile phone reception is hit and miss so don't expect to hear from me for a while. I notice Mr FF has put out his munro book and map of Ben Nevis, I have visions of sitting on the terrace knitting and watching dolphins rather than scaling mountain peaks but no doubt we shall compromise.
I also need to tell you that Tracy at Pink Purl is hosting a Haiku Festival on Monday 11 May. There's still time to join in and post your effort on your blog, let Tracy know if you are interested. I've written mine and set it to come up automatically on Monday morning as I shall still be away, I hope that works.
Have a lovely weekend when it arrives, we plan to.

  3. Oh my gosh! What a fabulous house! You lucky, lucky thing, I can't wait to hear all about your time there. Hugo and I love this sort of architecture, with the use of natural materials like wood, but with the modern twist.Heavenly!

  6. Ooh, that looks a wonderful place to spend the weekend. I'm so envious. (A visit to Stokesley is the only thing on the cards here!). Hope there'll be tons of photographs to sigh over.
