Simply..island life....

I am on the lovely island of Colonsay! A holiday cancelled from last year, but after two Covid tests, a lot of planning, a drive through heavy rain to sunny busy Oban and a beautiful early evening two and a half hour sail on MV Hebridean Isle we finally got here.

However broadband is slow/intermittant/non-existant, so posts and photographs may have to wait until I get back home..... have on our first day had warm sunshine and heard corncrake and cuckoo, and seen violets on the sand dunes and bluebells in the woods, and marvelled at the skeleton of a fin whale which was washed up on the shore in 2017 when we were last here.

A storm is forecast for today, but then more sun. It's exciting and beautiful to be here.

Have a good week wherever you are.

Heaven on Earth. I didn't see the whale skeleton when I was there, but I was on foot and didn't get round the whole island. It's a place I really want to return to.
