Friends in Achmelvich [Google it] returned from a short shopping trip on Saturday morning - they live at the end of a 2-mile very narrow single track road at the end of which there is a caravan site, the beach, the sea, a small youth Hostel and beggar all else.
They sat in a passing place while 32.....yes, 32 vehicles of all shapes and sizes crawled their way back out, having discovered that there were literally no parking spots or spaces to 'abandon' the vehicles left.
Later they had to tell a family not to park, blocking their drive entrance - the response? "Well, you're car's in your drive so you can't be going anywhere".....
Then yesterday, a chap rang their doorbell and without any introductions/preamble said "I need to use your phone". Friend asked "Don't you have a mobile?" Him..."Yes, but there's no signal". Friend [pointing 300 feet up the hill] "If you go up there you'll get one". Exit 'visitor' stage left, mumbling....
Roll on the end of Summer....
