A message from Nick’s family: As many of you know by now, Nick sadly passed away last month while traveling in the UK. We miss him a lot. He seemed to really enjoy Twitter. You can learn a bit more about him in the obit link below. Thank you. legacy.com/ca/obituaries/…

For all the bizarre hotel showers I've seen, I've never before had to go to a YouTube video to learn how to turn on the water (a power switch in another room)

With no ferries, bus is cancelled by adverse weather, some trees down. Our landlord has offered to reschedule her weekly shopping trip to Inverness to drive us to our train in her truck.

@MeidasTouch We went to Portland 14 months ago. It’s peaceful, beautiful, families playing in spray parks along the river, restaurants packed, felt completely safe at night. Please, stay safe from these fascists

A new one on me. I had to go to YouTube to turn on the shower; the power switch to turn on the water is in another room

Bus to Inverness quotes 2 pounds if we’re 60/disabled. We’ve gone adult, 19 pounds each, seems fairer

Our accommodations in northern Scotland all offer shower caps. Have I even seen one since the 1950s?

Ferry crossing smoother than expected, but may be still last one with severe weather closing in. Two nights in Ullapool on the mainland, home late Monday night
