Sheep fank and cleared clachan of Bruach Mhor above Laggan Bay and Lagganulva and across the bay from the Isle of Ulva.

Rained briefly on the way up, enough to stop and put the camera away.

Wondered about the weather briefly, wondered about my back briefly.

They both held up over time.

A friendly visit three years back and a round about home swap this year brought us to Anna and Mike Hogan’s gate.

As hosts Anna and Mike have truly extended themselves, becoming friends.
