sons and grandson

Sons and grandson at Snarraness.
Just to prove that Sorley was in Paris too!

It was lovely if a little hot. Went to some great restaurants with Colette (literally) ... she was her usual generous (and immovable) self. It was all very enjoyable.


Jamie came up with Sorley and Ben on the boat (all the rest of the pictures are his) for one night. Sorley and Ben are here until Saturday. We went to Snarraness to walk to the point and to take some pictures of Bousta. The house (Snarraness) ginger cat decided to come with us. But he/she and Ben didn't always see things the same way.

I looked for purple saxifrage (long past flowering) but couldn't find it. But I did find some sea spleenwort that was not recorded (at least in the book) for there ...
then me and the cat had a rest ...
Sorley tried out his new binnoculars ...
and, reluctantly, we all went home ...
after Jamie took some pictures with his big zoom lens.
We watched some films (when we could drag Ben from his book(s), bed or the laptop), including Monsieur Hulot, Kes and Highlander, yow how the last has aged! We have also partaken in a little whisky. All in all a great week for me.

And Sorley was wearing his tee-shirt from the Montague Book Mill! So funny to see a bit of MA in Paris...
