What's wrong with doing the work in the snow? Unless you've had the bonnet up all night then the engine bay will be clear, and all the heaving and swearing at the passenger side gasket will keep you warm... ;D

Most of the schools I did were either north or West of Stornoway, oh and a few on North Uist. I must say I loved it over there, the people are something else ;)

the people are something else
yeah they certainly are.. some v/friendly some not so..
shame I didnt know you were up here, no doubt I have probably passed you many a time on the roads due to my work.
ahh well, you'll just have to come back up again :y

Just had a look, some of these might have been on North Uist. Airidhantuim, Bernera, Carinish, Lionel, Lochmaddy (North Uist), Paible and Shawbost ;)

Everyone I met was really friendly ;) One thing I saw when I was there was an electrical shop and in the doorway it had a sign saying "we rent Bush". Made me laugh. I intend to have a trip up again but I will bring the wife this time ;)

I may have done, is the kitchen door to the right of the main entrance as you look at the school from outside. If I remember correctly there was ongoing building work, I think it was a community centre they were building when I was there ;)
