I don't know why it always surprises me when the Bluebells begin to flower and we find them in these cliff edge 'gardens'!

They grow in the Treshnish woodland too, but out in the fields they are spectacular, blushes of blue across the fresh greens.

Flowering

The fields are beginning to bloom.  We have had very little rain, so there is not an abundance of grass growth yet.

In other news, Farmer is watching the water supplies carefully.   So far so good.  We may have a borehole but unfortunately we are waiting for it to be connected up to our water supply!

Guests have been enjoying good sightings of 3 otters in the rock pools along the coast beyond Port Haunn.
