Soul recharging

 Well- what have we been up too???

A lengthy absence in the beauty that is Northern Scotland- ohhh sooo not to have come back again....
This may be a multi post..... firstly a week in Mull- gorgeous, spectacular, brooding, wildlife, peace, uncrowded......
We spent a couple of days in Ffionphort (opposite Iona)- where we found a lovely campsite overlooking silvery beaches with crystal clear water- where we could watch the children play and rockpool and RUN!! We stopped at a mussel farm on the way through Mull- where we picked up 4kgs of fresh mussels which were indulgently devoured with bread and butter (is there any other way? simple = best)

 A day trip over to Iona - well what else do you do for a young lady whose middle name is Iona?? Walked the width- TP fell in a rockpool and had to be carried back wrapped in Ms fleece- with Mummy flapping his little boxer shorts in the breeze to dry them! Finding a little RNLI charity book stall where I picked up a few months worth of reading matter (supporting a good cause of course!)

Visiting Tobermory and looking for signs of Balamory- including finding Edie McCredie bus hidden away in the south of the island.

Wild camping by Calgary Beach and spotting Sea Otters swimming in the bay.

Freshly caught Mackerel on a charcoal Barbecue.

Visiting Fingals Cave on Staffa and hearing the Hebridean Overture there.

Sunnie parked at John o Groats.....next instalment......
