Hi everybody

We have been here 5 years now and thought we should join in island blogging. The usual things affect us that everyone else comments on... the weather, the ferry fares going down, but no ferry to use them on this week. Athough we read the blogs we have resisted joining in but read today about the problems of taking pets to the mainland instead of boarding them on the island. We live at the lighthouse on Point so feel the full effects of the weather here, when the station in Aird records high winds we know to add on another 10 miles per hour, and hope for the more sheltered westerly gales instead of the cold northerly.

Is it true you make the wee animals run on treadmills to turn the light at night?

Welcome aboard from a fellow recent arrival. And how timely, for I'm the one who lamented the lack of a cattery. I was planning on investigating Tiumpanhead Lighthouse this weekend!

Take a sleeping bag and a flask just in case you don't make it home in a wunner...

Thank you for your comments. The animals are on strike and refusing to run in this wet weather. They are all tucked up with the heating on and thinking we are mad to go out!

The way to get the cats to run on treadmills is to put a vole in a cage with a treadmill. The vole slogs away, and the cats run after them. C'est la vie. And don't tell Arnish about it.

Living in a lighthouse! How wonderful!

I cut myself off last time - can we have some pics of the lighthouse please? And of the animals? Lovely to read your blog, thank you.

See that mjc? If I ever meet him I won't know whether to coil myself around his legs or sink my claws in...of course I could combine the two...

Wonder if there will be a Butt of Lewis Lighthouse blogger on here. Anyway, good to hear from Tiumpan Head, one of my fave places in Lewis. Good luck!
