Big bro is on the insurance case now, Thor. I imagine we’ll get a percentage back.
Thinking about all this – and it might be good fodder for a new topic – I’m not sure a actually want to go to Skye next year. Not becuase it isn’t beautiful (it’s spectaular), but because every year there are more and more tourists. The island is still mostly single-track roads, and nowadays, in the summer, they’re packed with tour coaches maneuvering around the passing places. I suppose the next step is to make all the roads much wider to accommodate them, but then the place loses all its charm. The road through Glen Coe on the mainland has been ruined, for example. Maybe Alan has an opinion on this.
When I retire (three more years – I hope I stay alive), I’m going to take my holidays in May. Good weather, fewer tourists.
