midsummer stones

Today is the longest day of the year. We visited Callanish stone circle, repeating a jouney that we made by tandem 8 years ago, also on midsummer's day. This time we went by bus, much more pleasant. Callanish was fantastic, most beautiful stones I've seen and also most ancient.

It doesn't get dark much. We spent yesterday evening touring the pubs of Stornaway in an attempt to find local Hebridean beer, which we eventually achieved in the arts centre. Have said goodbye to previous crew and are awaiting next (although previous keep reappearing) and waiting for gales to abate.

My step father will be pleased to know that Stornaway is still dominated by the co-op, once run by his father, but alas evil Tescos are on their way.
