Assault and battery

 The last couple of days have seen us holed up in the faded glamour of the Caledonian Hotel in Ullapool.

Chosen mainly as a respite from the predicted rain, the hotel is, surprisingly ok. (Despite the haggis at breakfast)

Ullapool and the surrounding area are simply wonderful. A small slice of paradise that could only be improved by:

a) : A more temperate climate.

b): A branch of Home Bargains.

Sharp eyed readers will, by now I'm sure, be wondering about the assault and battery link.

Wonder no more. Arriving last night, famished from travelling on barely visible Highland tracks, the local fish and chip shop appeared Heaven sent.

Now comes the unpleasantness. Nervous readers are once again advised to look away (or at least close one eye).

Two portions of haddock and chips and some mushy peas cost an astronomical £28.

That's right . Twenty eight English pounds. 

It was tasty, but I was left wondering if I should have framed it........

Anyway, here's some of the highlights...
