I mistakenly typed joliday - but in fact that was quite accurate. We had a wonderful week.

There is quite a variety of habitats on the small island of Colonsay (population 135). Sandy beaches and rocky shores, mountain and moorland, forest and woodland, machair and salt marsh, and on the estate of Colonsay House formal gardens, so there is a corresponding variety of wildlife and flora.

The island also hosts a remarkable number of small festivals. See here.

Beaches to ourselves. Beautiful Kiloran Bay

Claytonia, or purslane flowers in deep shade

exotics in Colonsay House Gardens

Lots of sunshine.

A couple of meals out! The Hotel is currently for sale if anyone is up for a new adventure...

Stunning shots of this lovely island. I saw that the hotel was up for sale (£650,000 if I'm not mistaken). If only I had the cash and knew anything about running a hotel ... If only I could come to Scotland ... Hopefully that will become a possibility in time for your exhibition.

Oh, I hope so Grace! If you ran that hotel I would come every year.
