So here we are, on Bernera, a little island connected to Lewis by a causeway. The last time we were here will was one year old, and took his first unaided steps on the ferry. Here he is as he was, and where we now are (if you see what I mean.)

We are staying in a holiday cottage with wide open windswept views in every direction. Funny thing is, when we checked out the guest book, we saw the name of some old friends from England, Mark and Joy Headley, who stayed here in 2006. Well I never…

Bernera has a lovely community feel about it- and they have a new play area for the kids near the community centre.

The first thing we did was cycle over there and Emily and Will (and mum and dad too) became monkeys for a while.

But faced with a rather scary pole slide thing, Will became a rather timid monkey. Step forward Big Sister…
