October 2023

Hello everyone, welcome, enjoy the photos.

Malcolm making sure we have enough spuds for the winter months

Just love a wild and windy Saturday morning watching the waves crash in

and watching the old beacon in the storm

The greenhouse is up and glazed and has already withstood 70mph winds

so peach tree, grape vine, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries are on order !

Quote of the month

Around the island

Nouster Beach at low tide

plenty of seaweed being washed up by the storm 

on to the shore for the sheep to eat

Images and reflections inside the lighthouse

Reflections of light through the lens on to the wall

and looking up through the cast iron walkway

Visitors this month

It has been great to see Janet and Peter and

 Jenny and Paul this month

lots of talking, eating and walking

gambling with matchsticks, Peter looking smug with his pile 

and swimming 

with some of my Ewe Wild Swimming mermaids,

felt so good !!

so glad you made the trip to the island !

Pause for thought

When Malcolm asks for a cup of cocoa I like to see how much froth I can get on it, simple pleasures, haha

Wishing you happy wanderings...

keep making the world a better place

Malcolm & June
