June 25th. - How the days and weeks go by so quickly! Here the weather has been very changeable and we have had some great heavy showers in between the sunshine. 

So a little unsettling outside , and inside too as we look more closely at safe ways to ease lockdown in Scotland.

Going for walks after the rain, everything was so much more vibrant. The small flowers across the Machair, and the seaweed brilliant and shining responding to the watering. The birds too, were happily hopping and flying about by the waters edge feeding.

As you can tell the weather conditions play a big part in my island life! Today I awoke to the sound of thunder and I think there was a little lightening too.

When I went outside I was touched to see a few fragile wild poppy flowers. There they were , after all the wind and rain, happily swaying in the almost sand, bringing colour and joy and showing hope to the world.

I have started exploring video making on my iPad - laughing a lot at the results, but hopefully learning from my mistakes. Still a long way to go, and I will give you an update if there are any significant developments.
