We love our room . it has 2 picture windows
looking over the sound of Iona to the East and the garden and distant Jura
across and being Mull on a fair day. We did go out this morning , walked up to
see the Fallen Christ sculpture and then a tour of all the galleries and shops
on the island . That took 30 minutes. We did see some lovely things,
island crafted jewellery , hand woven scarves, and watercolours for the
holidaymaker-just like Filey really.
I have enjoyed being indoors today as I have
been able to get on with my Plant Identification Course. That has taken me
until 3.45pm. Its still raining , not the gentle drips but the soak u thro
windy kind. So we have retired to our dual aspect room where I can use
the wifi as no laptops are allowed in the (sun )Lounge. The fire is alight in
the small sitting room where the bloggers and skypers and Americans and
Norwegians all sit contacting home or trying to organize tours to Loch Ness from Iona in 1 day starting from tomorrow.
Imogen and I have worked out that facebook messaging
is the best, and that can be done on the phone from the breakfast table without
anyone caring a dam.
Colin turned to me a while ago and said living in this hotel would be good, just taking meals and lounging around and having walks when the weather is kind. So I guess all my worries about him having a good time in the middle of nowhere with dual aspect rain are unfounded.
