Go west, where the grass is green, was the cry this morning! Jeff and I were to head towards Ulva, whilst Harry cycled northwards towards, in theory tobermory, but then again we all know harry well enough to have expected him to come back covered in snow with polarbear fur around his neck. Some of the views along the atlantic coast are absolutely breathtaking, tall mountains sloping down with edges as flat as pyramids into the sea, littered artisticly with isl...

Today we were to be blessed with our sister, Margo, who has been serving for a long time in Oban with many years of pioneering under her belt. Her knowledge of the local climate was no doubt to be a real aid to us today. Jeff went down to the port to pick her up from the midmorning ferry, as Harry and I begun in our village, Salen (pronounced like salad but with a 'n').

Another night sleep rudely interupted by a subconcious urge to listen to the shipping forecast, we were both wide awake at quarter past five, and it immediately became apparent that this was a perfect opportunity to get Jeff back in the kitchen and prepare a full english or shall I say scottish breakfast! Jeff duely ablidged and set us both up for the day as we spent the early hours preparing our Watchtower Study. Today, we were to cross back over to the mainl...
