Leaving Glen Urquhart and travelling via the 10.30pm sailing from Oban and arriving in Achadaphail at midnight. We intended to cut the grass and spend the day in the garden on Saturday but the weather on Friday was not at all promising with heavy showers and quite a strong wind. Saturday turned out to be a great day with sun and a breeze so the Factor 40 was necessary. This couldn't last though and we woke to heavyish rain for most of Sunday morning which became more intermittent as the day went on.
A dash for Fishnish and the 3.10pm crossing to Lochaline proved to be 2 minutes too late and so it was the 4.25pm ferry which took us back to the mainland.

March Trip 3
Back again. This is the last push as our first guests arrive the following Saturday so when we leave on Sunday afternoon the house is ready and looking well.
March Trip 2
A late night crossing from Oban and a busy weekend finishing the floor and beginning the skirting boards.
March Trip 1
I took a Thursday and Friday off work to travel on Thursday morning, from Glen Urquhart, via Inverness and Kentallen Farm near Salen then finally reaching the Ross of Mull about 4pm. AN helped me lay the new Caithness slab for the hearth and that was about all I managed for Thursday. Frantic laying of floor boards ensued all Friday and Saturday and I returned north again on Sunday.
February Weekend
We removed the carpet and hearth in the living room and began preparing for the new floor and stove. We made a new concrete plinth for the hearth stone and laid the first new boards for the floor.
