The Street

The community met this morning and decided to let me stay a second week which is great news if I can find a new flight.

"The Street" as it is called is full with some stayovers and new visitors so I will be staying in Pier Cottage.

Zehra lasted four nights in Pier Cottage with me or until the water stopped before moving to The Street with Val and hot showers.

Young Ewan, wants to stay on too, preferably on a bursary, so he will be joining me next in Pier Cottage, so looking forward to a week with a new cottage-mate and some guy chat.

Pier Cotage - retreat

Here is Pier Cottage where I am staying, a lovely cottage with a Rayburn Range wood burning cooker and water heater.

So lot's of hot water, chickens wandering around outside and comfortable rooms.

This cottage is just to the edge of the community and often used for retreats and those who want to drop in and out of the daily Erraid routines or explore the island.

I first came across Erraid years ago when we stopped off whilst sailing nearby on a dutch barge hosting Baldur's Journey facilitated by Embercombe. Then it was a just an island visit for the day to work on the land with the locals, eat with them, visit the Wishing Stone and then sailing on to Fingal's Cave at Staffa.

At the back of my mind has been unfinished business to return and spend more time with them on Erraid, so here I am!
