Extreme Weather Picnicing
Posted: Tuesday, 27 February 2007 |
The rain is battering on the veluxes and it's beginning to feel like a long winter, what with weather and colds and all. Still, picnicing on the beach is an all season activity here in Lewis. How they must laugh at us in Australia. Builds character though. These pictures were taken at Bosta beach on Great Bernera two weeks ago. The weather looks lovely, but it was so cold we had our picnic in the car. What a bunch of southern softy shandypants' we are.

Is it a real repro go-into-able iron age hoose or just a stand-ootside-in-admiraton one, Auntie BoB? Shandypants? That'll be what the crumblies get when the distances between public conveniences become problematic....

Lovely to see you and the wee guy back again BoB. I'm a bit worried about the tracks leading into the sea on snap 3 though. Should we be worried?
Annie B from the usual
Sounds a bit like Coll, bright and sunny but bitterly cold. Best place for the picnic was the car. Bet you still enjoyed the view though?
Ac from Coll
Ah yes, Annie, funny you should mention that. These are vehicle tracks entering the magical tunnel that exists between here and anywhere else you care to go. Muggles are of course, not meant to know anything about it. Don't worry, someone from the Ministry will be along in a moment to wipe all this from our memories. the wee guy looks like he kens all about it though - I knew there was something funny about that one.....

It is actually possible to go inside the iron age house, Flying Cat, if it's not a Sunday that you happen to be there. In the summer they have a peat fire burning and you can go in and choke like a real Iron Age person.

Ah. A magical tunnel. The most cost-effective option yet for a link to the mainland.

The Magic Tunnel with a voiceover by Thewhitesettler, Lewis' answer to Eric Thomson and a stoned rabbit propped up against the tollbooth.....Balamory couldn't compete.

Bosta Coffee would be a good name for a coffee bar and it would be above costa coffee in the phone book. Ah my tablets have arrived...

The house looks like a pyramid that sank in the oven!

How many pyramids can you get in an oven?

Ah, magical Bosta. Can well imagine why Calum Sgaire lamented his departure from there in 1851.
