BUT we had a fantastic time. We went and stayed in one of Posie Rosie's cottages - Persabus Cottage http://www.persabus.co.uk/cottages/index.html fabulous cottage - really home from home.
We were out and about doing photography every day and were knackered by the end of the week . . .
Posie Rosie was a pure delight to meet - I don't think I ever saw her stop smiling - she is one of those warm genuine people that you want as your best friend. Mind you I totally went off her when I discovered that despite not looking old enough she really was the mother of teenage children :evil: Mr Posie Rosie was also brilliant - knows everyone on the island - a real character - loved his stories and we are planning on going back for more. Infact you know even when we went over to Jura people there knew Mr and Mrs Posie Rosie - we didn't meet anyone who didn't know them and indeed didn't like them.
One thing we loved about the Island was just how friendly everyone is . . . no I mean REALLY friendly . . . EVERYONE waves at you as you drive round the Island - well no, not just us - everyone waves at everyone . . . un-nerving when it first happened because we wondered if we were doing anything wrong - but once we found out that it was the norm we found it utterly charming. Then of course back on the mainland we had to get used to the fact that people don't wave.
The island itself is beautiful and we found some stunning wild beaches - if I could live there overlooking the sea I would - but it would have to be a very specific beach . . .
So thank you Posie Rosie and Mr Posie Rosie - we will be back.
