Tom

 


This isn't Tom - although it could be. Maybe it is.  Yes, it is I am sure, only he wasn't at this wedding in 2018.

Excuse me. The library van just arrived and I had to return the books. And have a chat with the driver man who I regularly see in the cafes in Stornoway along with pal I first met doing a temporary census job years ago. Plenty of cafes in Stornoway to visit too. I mean that's practically the best bits of the place as it happens - unless it's wet  and there are cruise ships in in which case the cafes are rammed with "do you live here's ".

Anyway, this wasn't Tom - I mean the magnificent snap above since it was taken at the wonderous marriage of Gwyneth and her late husband the lovely and much missed Victor.

Oh Tom. You know Tom and everything. Him of Art and crafts, 2022 Scottish Home of the year and generally lovely creative man . BTW; his website isn't happening these days. 

We visited Tom again again yesterday in what should be Scottish garden of the year surrounding his Scottish Home of the year 2022 house and studio. Two silver birch trees had been purchased and now planted by the Artist Tom himself in his patch, one to remember Victor and another to replace the horrible "tree" we had cut down by our Man Who Does outside our summer parlour window.

Thankyou for the tree. That links to a good photograph of us.

That’s very swooshy. A lot to digest in that post, I’m not surprised you need a café, but I was on the edge of my chaise until I knew Tom was safe and well.
