Around a month after leaving to buy a turkey for Christmas, Kay Ure has returned to her home in the Lighthouse Keeper’s cottage in Scotland’s Cape Wrath.
The 54-year-old was left stranded and living in a friend’s caravan after her way home was blocked by heavy snow.
She was separated from husband John for 30 days after embarking on a pre-Christmas grocery trip 30 days ago.
Poor weather conditions blocked the last 11 miles of her journey, meaning she was forced to spend Christmas in a friend’s caravan in Durness.
Her husband was left at home with their six dogs and no turkey for Christmas, although he was visited by two walkers who popped into the couple’s cafe on the north-west tip of the UK.
The couple have now been reunited and plan to have a belated Christmas dinner together.
Meanwhile, the caravan-friendly resorts of Poole and Bournemouth are marketing themselves as water sports destinations as part of a new joint campaign to attract visitors.
