Sights and Sounds One Hundred

Day 4. More Rain.
We got up having slept for a good nine hours. I was really hoping for the weather  to be a little brighter but it was pretty miserable. We went to town so Dusti could buy some local Yorkshire wool to do some knitting while on the Scottish Island next week and we also retraced her jog from earlier so she could post some photos. The lady in the wool shop was very kind and Dusti some needles for free since she didn't bring any with her and Dusti bought several skeins of wool of which she is knitting a couple of scarves with (we'll probably need them next week the way this British summer weather is panning out). I didn't take my DSLR with me and low and behold as we were eating lunch the sun poked out from the thick gray blanket in the sky to say hello and i began to wonder if i was going to miss some dramatic skies above the castle. Well we finished lunch and headed back outside and within five minutes it was raining again. We pretty much ruled this day out as far as doing anything too interesting. In the evening we did get a visit from my Auntie Rosemary and Uncle Ian which was fantastic. We had a fish and chip dinner followed by a delicious chocolate cake. After they left i went to bed early with the intentions of getting up at 6AM to photograph the castle. The weatherman were predicting partly cloudy weather especially for the morning so i was eager to take advantage and shoot some long exposures.
