A long overdue visit to my favourite café.
The coffee bothy, near Broadford, Skye.
With the Reverso and a vintage Petri 35mm camera (not pictured). Shooting some b&w film today hence the nostalgic edit below.
The nicest environment, the warmest welcome and the best coffee on Skye, the cremé brülee cheesecake was chuffing good too!

I normally don't with this kind of thing but I had a huge respect for Sinead O'Connor for her look which rebelled against the fashions of the day and societal expectations of womanliness. For her immense talent and incredible voice and for her no nonsense outspoken nature to speak up for something she believed in.
My first introduction to her music was Mandinka from the album the lion and the cobra and I recall watching it on totp in the late 80's with friends who were more interested in commenting on her appearance while I was really taken with the song.
RIP ...........
