Storm Amy has been wild, currently tucked up in my van north of Lochinver, it has been a long 18+ hours of this torrential rain and winds. Happy to be cosy in van 🚐 I had a lovely birthday yesterday with a chilly sea dip, beaches & otter watching before the storm hit. This is my view tonight 😬
Let's go explore 🚐 nothing better than starting an adventure with a Calmac ferry crossing this morning ⛴️ #OuterHebrides
Wow, yesterday was my last day of my full summer season at my little gift shop Coralbox 🙂 thank you all for keeping me busy & supporting my island business. I'm looking forward to heading off for an 18 day van adventure up North- full of fresh air, beaches, good food, sea dips & exploring! ☺️
After weeks of constant wind and rain, I'm already looking forward to more days like this... 🩵 those sunny winter days hit different 😍 #Berneray #OuterHebrides
As my summer season comes to an end, I will be taking a short break from both my gift shop here on Berneray & my online shop. My last day open will be Wednesday 24th September. Online orders can be placed until then - soaps, jewellery, calendars & more! ☺️ coralbox.co.uk
Ferry booked for another mainland van adventure, 18 days of exploring 🙂 little van & I are heading from Ullapool along the west & north coast to John o Groats / Wick 🚐 Any recommendations of things to do, places to visit or delicious seafood? 🙂 photos: last years long van trip
An amazing amount of Velella, or 'by the wind sailors' washed up on the west coast beaches today & bigger in size than any other year I remember. But look closer, you will notice a very special shell attached... a violet sea snail 😍 my first one I've ever found #OuterHebrides
So happy to be able to use my own island photography in my work at Coralbox 🤗 these are my latest tea towel designs freshly printed & delivered. My favourite is the pottery & sea glass collection 😍 the colour and patterns of each piece are amazing. Available online: www.coralbox.co.uk
Yesterday I had the most wonderful day trip to Canna ☺️ an early drive to Lochboisdale for our boat journey across direct to Canna. A lovely tour around Canna House & an explore of the East of the island. A walk across to Sanday to the beach for my picnic & a swim #InnerHebrides
