Newtonmore to Helmsdale

After a welcoming evening in Newtonmore from Lillias and Denise, we set off this morning via Inverness to get some seed tatties, to Helmsdale and Jean.  Storm clouds appeared to be gathering, but the rain held off and we managed a pre-prandial walk up the hill among the early flowering whin.
