What a beautiful winter’s day on the Isle of Tiree.
We have looked out on a snowy landscape
For the most part it has been no problem.
No hassle. No inconvenience.
What a contrast with reports and photographs we have been receiving.
Tiree Airport was open and ready for business today with the runways cleared.
On the other hand the plane for Tiree could not leave Glasgow because of freezing fog.

Sunrise is presently around 8:45.
There was a strong hint of the day ahead.
Calm and cold would be a most apt description.
It being Sunday we headed out at 10:00am
We have to drive from our home in Scarinish to Crossapol.
As a church we meet in An Talla, the island’s Community Hall.
Most unusually for Tiree there was ice on several stretches of the road.
We were informed by someone who walked there was even ice on the beach.
Scarinish was snow free but there was snow by the time we reached the Reef.
The South West had obviously had a fresh coating of the white stuff.
Across the water Ben More on Mull was like picture postcard.
What a beautiful day winter’s day it proved to be, morning and afternoon.
In the afternoon the hours of day are now very limited.
Sunset comes early.
What a journey back from An Talla (Crossapol) to Scarinish.
The road conditions were no problem at all.
It was stopping to take photographs.
The views were stunning.
Perhaps it is best to let the photographs tell the story for the rest of the journey.
After lunch it seemed no time at all until we went out for a walk.
To catch the sun setting it was imperative we got out just after 3:00pm.
We were certainly rewarded as we made our way to the pier and up to the Lighthouse.
This is Life-on-Tiree
What a beautiful winter’s day on the Isle of Tiree.
Snow! No Problem when you are looking out on it across the sea.
