Storm Babet has arrived. Sea spray is coating the hotel windows while out in the bay an oil tanker is at anchor. Ferry crossings have been suspended. It is a wild morning so we've decided to ride the storm out by just relaxing in the hotel. I'm in the Wardroom which is a sort of library come relaxation room. I'm listening to a conversation out in the reception between a customer and the receptionist, their topic is repeat visits to the hotel and the previous owner Mike Ferguson who knew how to host a house party it seems. He must have been a good owner as the staff here stay for a long time, the receptionist has been here thirty six years. An interesting digression from watching the trees wildly swaying outside. I've now switched off.
