Thanks to you all for your messages. Å is amazing - I never thought to see so much salted cod in my life - an alternative to a flogger? But seriously it is beautiful and as you say very remote.

Sir Russell thankds for the encouraging words. It is a grea thing with this Board that everyone seems to have different and very personal tastes and are at the same time so supportive of each other. A true community.

Darknightwood - please do have a go at a story. Mariko and I would love to read your thoughts on how you see a scene developing - always interesting to view the world through other's eyes. I think that in fairness to Nikita and me you may have misinterpreted her message. Suggest you go back and re-read and see if I'm right or not. Certainly I am hoping to post more photos when I get back home.
