A wonderful week on the beautiful islands of Mull and Iona with some of the Aussie family.
Miles of single track road winding around hills and beside rugged coasts, wildflowers nodding in the wind, sheep and Highland coos setting the pace.
Joining Sunday service in Iona Abbey, walking up Dun I and swimming at North Beach.
Fantastic folk session in the afternoon sunshine outside a pub.
Boat trip to the islands of Lungha and Staffa, seeing thousands of puffins, guillemots, razorbills, shags and gulls, plus dolphins on the way home!
Exploring Duart Castle from dungeons to ramparts to the all-important tea room.
Tobermory for pipers, dancers, strong men and chieftains at the Mull Highland Games, followed by ambling onto the film set for Balamory (they didn`t need extras, alas), then lunch, art and snoozing at An Tobar.
Board games, endless conversation, industrial supplies of coffee and scones, great meals and so many laughs.
Days of sunlight, days of cloud, days of bright warmth, days of sea mist… but very little rain and NO midges!
Miracles do happen.
