Just a quickie before we head off to the windy Western Isles for a week of sea kayaing (maybe!).... Four of our party set off from Mallaig last Saturday and have spent the past 2 days sitting out the wind and waves at Lorgill on the west coast of Skye. Hopefully today will see them on the water and heading for a rescue point so we can all get across to Lochmaddy at the weekend.
We finally got the Wi-fi connection set up for guests at Ach na skia Croft. Not yet been tested by any guests so there may still be some teething problems and we may have to try to get a booster to extend the signal range. Hope it's worth it; I know we find the option to use the Internet when on holiday useful, though that may be a rather sad confession, so hopefully it will be an asset that helps people plan trips, check email, etc.
The house has been at a total standstill. The wagtail family, nesting in the dining room, have fledged and are feeding on the lawn, but the swallows are still feeding hungry chicks in the nest in the bedroom. The latest addition to the wildlife park that we hope will one day be our house is leaf cutter bees, who are busily making leaf nests in the gaps in the polystyrene walls. 
Oh dear! We haven't seen the deer again, since it demolished our bird feeder and part of the wall.
