The removals van arrives this afternoon and we should complete loading tomorrow. Once it’s gone, we’ll lock up the house, say goodbye to London and start the grand trek north to the island.
The island house is now fully wind and water tight, with electricity and water connections in place. It’s ready for us to take over the next phase building out the services and internal works.
There will be a bit of radio silence now until we arrive, but when I post next it will be from our croft.
At last.
Ravencroft Skye 
Arghhh!!!

Sooo excited for you!
Remember… the tension on your knitting is excellent, so is your baking, ability to inspire and general loveliness!
Safe travels – such an exciting milestone.

Have a safe journey north. Take care, it’s more than a wee bit blustery. At least you only have to negotiate the bridge and are not at mercies of CalMac.
