Newist we had the best holiday on - or do you say in smile - the Hebrides last year. North Uist was lovely, but (ducks and runs away) I remember that was the island where there were so many flies! And I hate flies.

Here is a photo taken when we were waiting for the ferry to leave the Uists en route to Barra (I think! we went on so many ferries). But altogether beautiful on those islands, we loved it.

Grannyknot i am so pleased you enjoyed your holiday, that's a lovely photo. I am guessing it would be round about June, once a year about that time the flies appear then they go quite quickly, they are mostly in the areas where the animals are.

It was in early July Newest, so I'll remember that for future. We'd love to go back.
