Arrived safe

Hey everyone,
Just a quick post this time to let you all know about our move. We drove from Stirling to Ullapool on Tuesday, making great time and checking into a B&B at 10:45pm. Then we caught the 9:30am ferry the next day. We were stunned by the scenery on the way out of Loch Broom, until Deborah fell asleep under the influence of anti-sickness tablets and David was left to be stunned at the scenery for the rest of the (relatively) smooth journey by himself. Abigail slept the whole time. What a star!

We got to Stornoway at 12:15, and after taking care of some business, most important of which was feeding a ravenous child, we got to our new Home in Breasclete about 2:30. Meanwhile, Mum and Dad Renwick (with Pepper) in the Micra, Dad Chapman and Daniel in a hired van and Colin Hinde from the Northside congregation in "the Ark" minibus were on the ferry from Uig on Skye, and arrived at Tarbert on Harris at 3:45. Mum and Dad made it to the house in about an hour; the others got lost and took 2 hours. We then upacked the van, ate fish and chips, built a bed or two, and slept.

I am now in Stornoway, using wi-fi at a computer shop. We don't have a telephone line installed yet (so no Internet connection either), but those of you who receive emails from us will get our telephone number as soon as we know it.

That'll do for now. I'll have to go take care of more business, and Deborah and her parents are busy working at the house and buying groceries. Until next time...
