    This might not be relevant but if the issue is with your eye/vision, would it be worth seeing an ophthalmologist at whichever optician you use as they are often v helpful with referrals and have equipment these days to do quite detailed eye testing?

    Pleased that you are going home - you will enjoy sleeping in your own bed.
    frustrating that you have no indication of what caused the issue.

    I did go to the opticians before I went to hospital and they did lots of checks, also been to the specialist eye hospital in Inverness. They dilated the pupils and ran checks as well. All a bit of a puzzle.

    Managed a night away in Plockton. Yesterday we visited Atterdale Gardens, it was wet but well worth it.

    Lovely pics, lucielle, glad you got away for a wee break and Plockton is lovely. I've got that plant in your third pic - the flowers always remind me of wee hanging handbags.

    How is your eye doing now??

    Crinodendron hookerianum|Chile lantern tree/RHS Gardening

    It was already in the garden when we moved here and seems to flower profusely every two years - this year is one of those years and it's looking gorgeous at the moment :) 

    Hope you're doing okay.
