I thought a week off work and the late 2021 May bank holiday might provide an opportunity for the long overdue Outer Hebrides trip but various things made it not such a great option again 🙁 We took the opportunity to fill in a few missing bits in the Highlands after a brief visit to Skye 
because we were passing – Trixie enjoyed pretending to be queen of the castle at Strome 
and a ship’s cat at Diabaig 
, and we spent some time around Glencoe 
and Glen Etive – beautiful bluebells 
, lovely loch 
, and stunning sunrise 
.
I had an appointment in Glasgow a couple of weeks after this so it made sense to escape for a weekend. The weather wasn’t fantastic this time but we still managed to relax and catch up on our catnapping 
.
