I was asked to participate in a meeting regarding a new course on Harris Tweed that has been developed for Secondary Schools. The aim is to offer a 'shop window' for a new generation of the community in the Hebrides to the Harris Tweed industry, with the hope of raising awareness of the industry and the opportunities it can offer young people for future careers in weaving, working in the mills or in manufacturing products from Harris Tweed. A very exciting development.
After the meeting in Tarbert I had a few hours of daylight left in which to dash down to Luskentyre and wander aimlessly on the endless beach. I dip a toe in the clear sea.... but alas, its not as warm as Bronte or Tamarama. But the peace and space....serene.
