Four days away.................

IMG_8253 "What are you doing this Saturday?" Hugo asked me last Thursday............... IMG_8258 ................ And that's how we ended up on the Isle of Mull................. IMG_8267 ............. Or rather, that's how I ended up being treated to four days holiday......... all from my very generous husband! IMG_8279 .......... This is the view we had from the cottage we stayed in............. you can see more of Shieling cottage here................. it was absolutely charming, beautifully decorated............. Just perfect............ The cottage itself was on a farm............. a very quiet farm, in the middle of nowhere............. with spectacular views to the sea............... We were only away for four days.............. but we seemed to enter a time-warp when we went to Mull, and it felt longer................ Four days to re-charge our batteries.............. I've got a few more photographs to show you.............. but I'll save those for tomorrow................ (The photographs from the beginning of this post were taken while sitting in the cafe of Antobar - Tobermory arts centre............... we had lunch there, sitting on the high stools, looking out of the window, down to the harbour of Tobermory.............. the location for the filming of the children's programme, Balamory)............
