Very different today on the Isle of Lewis! We drove to Mealasta at the end of the road on the west side of the island to watch the stormy sea. Incredibly wild and windy, we could barely stand up out of the car and the waves were huge - so much bigger than they look in this video! At one point along the road the sea was blowing right up the cliff and over the road so the car got a rather salty rinse. An early start tomorrow to get the ferry back to Ullapool (assuming the weather calms down overnight as forecast) then the long drive back to Derbyshire. As always I’ll be sad to leave my friend and this beautiful place ❤️
