Sunrise this morning was a herald of the sunny day that lay ahead. As the sun began to rise we were afforded magnificent views towards the Paps of Jura, but by the time we set out to meet with the Church at AnTalla the sun had hidden the Paps from view.
With the turkey and the Christmas Pudding finished, we drove to Balephuil for a walk along our son’s favourite beach. Walking across the Machair our eyes were drawn towards Skerryvore lighthouse sitting solitary in the Atlantic Ocean. With the sun setting both sand and sky were like an artist’s palette.
