I can't recommend a visit to Margaret highly enough. Joolio I should have mentioned Margaret, sorry. We spent a few hours at with her at Callanish and later in the week she came with us down to Harris. She is a remarkable woman - was living alone with about 20 cats when we met her. Last I heard of her, she is becoming frail and needs a walking aid to get about. An Avebury friend gave me her telephone number - having visited Lewis a bit ahead of me. If she is still meeting people I am sure the Callanish Visitor's Centre would be able to give out her contact details. She does appreciate payment for her time but I think this may be negotiable. Dear tjj & joolio I have read a lot about Margaret & I'll look into contacting her. She sounds amazing. I'll book the ferries & visit the chemist for some anti emetics I think! My sea legs are usually pretty good, although one journey back from France which seemed to last for 8 or so hours left me completely pissed off with my beloved sea. Having to deal with 3 vomiting kids plus 1 incapacitated father left me rather unenthusiastic:) Reply | with quote | Posted by carol27 16th April 2017ce 18:19 In reply to: Re: The Pilgrimage (tjj) |
