A cottage on the way out to Tongue, overlooking a beautiful little bay. Note the pile of peat at the side of the house. The windows in the roof and the front porch are additions to this house which was built in the 1800s. Picture it without them and you will see the typical croft which dot the landscape here.

This is Pammy Lamont and her little boy Johnny. We visit her each week. She is a very special young lady who is trying to put her life in order and begin progressing in the Gospel again. We both really love her and Johnny. She is the girl we were so led to.

This is a model of the MacKay croft that Kenny Miles made. The roof comes off and it is complete inside with all the rooms and furnishings.

This is Joe Joe the pet pig of Vincent Wilkenson's family. Vincent is a new convert. The pig is as you can see covered with long black hair. He comes from New Zealand and grazes on grass like a sheep. He is very friendly and when I went over to the fence to take his picture he came up and had quite a conversation with me, then followed me up to the farm house. "oink oink, snort, snort"

This is the Wick Choral Society before our practice in the Thurso Episcopal Church. We performed in Wick and also here in Thurso. The director is the one next to the piano. I love to listen to him speak. He has the true Scots accent and has a delightful sense of humor. He can correct us and make us laugh at the same time an no one is offended. He really knows his music too as he plays cello in the community orchestra.

This is the path along the Thurso River where we often walk, if we don't go along the ocean.

Coming up the northwest coast we found this husband and wife team cutting peat to dry. They will use it next winter for their only source of heat.
