Severe gales lash the north of Scotland today, and excessive rainfall leads to phenomenal flooding from Kirkwall to Moray. Roads and railways are cut north of Inverness and there is no ferry service between Ullapool and Stornoway. The winds are gale force 8, gusting to severe gale force 9 here. The Muirneag did not sail either. The shelves in the shops are a bit bare as a result. The rain stopped at 3pm and the sun even came out. Mrs B's brother-in-law came to call. Supper is a beef stew with potatoes, carrots and onions.

You're making me feel cold with all the talk of gales and rain! We got some of it too last week. When's summer arriving?! Is it soon? Jeannette xx http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/
