Throwing the something at scottish games

 All is well with the Roaming Steads. We may be off air for couple of weeks as we are off to the Outer Hebrides tomorrow. It is a 6 hour ferry trip right through the sounds of the other inner islands and then across the Atlantic. They are fairly remote islands so not sure what the coverage will be. Had a nice few sunny days since leaving Ireland. That place sure can rain. Conwy on the northern tip of Wales was my favourite town so far even though it poured raining all day. We had a day at the Highland Games at Inverary and thoroughly enjoyed that. Today we are in Oban on the very West coast of Scotland and it is also a beautiful town. The roundabouts are overflowing wioth tuberous begonias and they make a spectacular show. Hoping for a few nice walks over at the Outer Hebrides and also to get away from thje maddening crowd just a little. Bye until next post

 We are still in Ireland but I have at last mastered the Wireless connection. Tonight we are at Newgrange historic sight only a few miles from Dublin, apparently around 5000BC.. We have had a few days of sunshine but it is raining again today. Apparently been just as wet in UK so not sure what we are in to back ther. Leaving here on Wednesday night. We have been able to read wiothout lights until nearly 11pm. Certainly saves the electricity Houses have dropped up to 50% in price over here and people everywhere living in poverty, apparently 1.8 million only have 25 euros a week to live on once their bills are paid and 50% of people borrowing money just to pay their bills.They are saying even nurses may nto be paid after November. Seems hard to believe. Can't get much worse. The little horse I fell in love wioth at our campsite and hated leaving him as he had no mates and was really neglected. ouldn't take him with me unfortunately
