The Owl and The Pussy Cat

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful 'red and white'(!) boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, 'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are!What a beautiful Pussy you are!'

One Year On..

It's almost a year since I last posted here, a lot has happened.
We sold our house ….and our boat…almost simultaneously, which wasn't really part of the grand plan. We rented for 6 months, bought another boat and have now finally bought another house. Our plans are finally coming together.
Our Boat is currently in Scotland and our house is in Cornwall. At some point they will hopefully be in the same place, which means bringing the boat south! However Scotland is proving to be a lot of fun so we are taking our time over it. Here are some photos from our recent Scottish trip, a circumnavigation of Mull. I think if you click on the images you will get to see them full size.

Lovely old bridge between Seil island and the mainland

We also visited Iona which was lovely but I was feeling a little seasick and it rained in the morning, so no photos got taken.
Next post will have photos of some of the wildlife we saw.
