The Isle of Mull is another world. Here you feel detached from the real world. Sometimes we all just need a moment. And here is the perfect place to do just that. Guess who visited us at breakfast this morning,? Olly the otter. Named by Angela. Looks like we may have won the otter jackpot here. The cloud slung low over the mountains and with the light low, we could easily see the otter gliding through the water. These animals are so graceful, and mesmerising. What a moment, just us, the otter and the oyster catchers whose familiar call we can hear day and night. We had no plans today to leave this beautiful location. Stunning views and easy walks will keep us entertained. We have everything we need, why wouldn't we linger a while.
The sheep with their playful lambs, the nests on the pebbles from the oyster catchers and ringed plovers, and various other small birds flirting about gathering discarded sheeps wool for their nests.
Angela will tell you, she even has a 'loo with a view'.
Sadly though not everybody appreciates this beautiful spot. Some people camping a little further down the loch left this morning after just one night here.
The fire pit they built contained blackened drinks cans, a pair of socks, a piece of cutlery and about half a loaf of white bread. It makes our blood boil to see people behave like this. Tomorrow we will drive to the 'big' town of Tobermory to use the showers at the marina and pick up a few groceries, and in the evening probably return back here. Why not? Just us, the birds, the sheep, and the loo with a view!
