Our island parish (2)






Today is our final day and we catch the morning ferry tomorrow. Barra, its tranquility, beauty and people, is a difficult place to leave, you feel you are leaving something of yourself behind. The time has flown as usual but we are returning for three Sundays in May, when Gainford band, Gegenforde  will be joining us on the island for a week.




The weather has been mild with an occasional storm, far better than we had anticipated. This morning is no exception  and it looks as though the sun might shine. Just right for a stroll along one of the many deserted beaches.

typical pebbled beach



Our final evening will be spent with friends Graham and Mary who have very kindly invited us to supper. The perfect end to a perfect stay. They own the best Guest house, together with self catering accommodation on the island. If you are thinking of visiting Barrra then log on to http://www.barraholidays.co.uk
