Home

We're back.  1400 miles in 11 and a bit weeks.  20 islands (Scotland and the Scillies), 43 ports/ anchorages.  We've visited lovely places we would never have got to by other means, seen some wonderful wildlife and met many kind and friendly people.  We've been lucky with the weather, and maybe luckier to be back now it seems to be breaking!

We're earlier than we planned having decided not to go west of Ireland, but it's still nice to be home.  The house is spic and span thanks to Alan and Wan's care, and even the garden looks fine.  We planted potatoes and some squash in the veg garden, thinking that they could at least manage a fair fight with the weeds.  The squash definitely won!  No visitor will be permitted to leave without at least two!
