Though our weather has not been as cold or as snowy as others in the UK we have been disadvantaged by mainland conditions, and lorries containing our essential supplies have been taking longer than usual to arrive.
Yesterday we were are the supermarket in Stornoway and there were lots of empty spaces on the shelves. Fortunately we have simple tastes and everything on our list was in stock - except the rich tea biscuits.
Down to their last bit of hay, the sheep have been waiting for the Lewis Crofters lorry to arrive at the gate, and today it did! So it was cheers all round and a dash for the feed shed to put the bales and bags away before we got mugged (or should that be "fleeced"!)
The snow has more or less disappeared near sea level at least, but it's now blowing a gale. So batten down the hatches....
