Fantastic weekend!

The island was wonderful, very much exceeding my expectations. It was perhaps the smallest of our retreat destinations, but at the same time was packed full of delights-

Ancient monastic sites- church, beehive cells, a hermits cave.

Wildlife like you would not believe- otters, seabirds, seals, corncrakes. Nearby ospreys (seen on the return.) Also- a complete absence of ticks and midges!

Sun- three days with barely a cloud. Sure, it was windy, but mostly gloriously warm. Warm enough for diving into the sea for some of us!

We sat round fires, walked out meditations and laughed a lot.

It was wonderful.

Thanks to all of you that came along…
