The Hebridean Woolshed : Studio Window

It’s the beginning of September, and we have guests at Eight Askernish who are having to stay an extra night. The ferry across the Sound of Barra has been cancelled for the whole of today, and will be ‘on alert’ tomorrow.  It’s lucky for them that we have a couple of days free before the next guests arrive !  If it concerns the Hebrides, a Plan B is mandatory.

My new body …

Jonathan's 'new' Canon 70D camera, with EF-S Image Stabilization zoom lenses zoom lenses 17-55 and 18-200

My new body is a Canon EOS 70D SLR.  It’s not new – it’s 4-5 years old, and a ‘hand-me-up’ from our daughter Becky, who has moved on to the latest mirrorless Canon. I’ve been getting to know it over the past fortnight or so, and I can confidently say that it’s better than any camera I’ve had befor.

Denise and Becky on old road to Àird Horragaigh, Isle of South Uist

After many months of shifting thoughts on the question, we’ve decided to relegate our blog from the front page of The Big Garden website to, well, just a page.  We’ll be posting much less often.

Rebecca Bridge. Derelict croft house. Isle of South Uist
