Well we have been home a week now following that awsome adventure in the wilder parts of Scotland. For the record we were away for 3 weeks, stayed in 13 b&b's, traveled 2500 miles, met many interesting people and also visited a great many interesting places.

Todays painting is of a remote hamlet near Steor, called Achiltibuie; how to pronounce it;  I know not. However it did have one very good thing going for it; there was a clean public loo there, right in the middle of nowhere; not even a house near the loo and it was superbly clean. It must take an award for the most remote public loo in existance!

Life is returning to normal slowly, we came back with 50 paintings and over 400 photographs, which are all being processed individually. When the work is completed I will let you know and anyone who wants can come round for coffee, chocolate buiscits and a look at the work; give me a couple of weeks then it will all be sorted.

Well must dash, youth church awaits me. For the ones amongst you who are wondering. I am going as a leader and not as an adult who has failed to grow up.

 I would like to think that some of you have been saying to yourselvees, where has he been for the last few weeks. well the simple answer is, having one heck of an adventure! We have been right up the far reaches of the west coast of Scotland, having one amasing time after another.

One of those times was at Clacktoll, in Stoer Bay, in about a remote area as you can get, and it took my breath away.

More later, we traveled for three weeks, drove 2500 miles, had a superlative time and got back exhausted, but very happy. Tell you more and another image in a few days.
