My Safe Haven⤴

from

Today’s Daily Create asks us to make a collage of my safe havens. Most of mine are in the West of Scotland, either on or within spitting distance of the Isle of Mull. I grabbed a few from my albums to make a collage, I could have chosen hundreds.

I was brought up in the Peak District, which is stunningly beautiful. With a Cornish father I spend yearly holidays in Cornwall, which is God’s own county. I moved to the Isle of Wight as a teenager – and though I didn’t appreciate it at the time, now I see how lucky I was. But Scotland has my heart. Glasgow is my home and the Scottish scenery wins hands down for me.

Here’s some pics from Mull, with Strontian bay in the middle.

Mull, again⤴

Our holiday lodge, Auchnacraig Lodge

A week away on Mull, one of my favourite places in the world. We had a beautiful lodge – big, top quality, nestling in the middle of nowhere. The neighbours were …

Shoo!

Not all that friendly – tolerating us, at most.

Ram

Some of them were fairly shy, only letting us look at them from a distance, through a window.

But the weather was kind to us, and the views were stunning.

While we were there we stopped at the abandoned boats, as we always do.

And took a drive over to Fionnphort, to find sunbathers.
