It had to happen.
Even on Tiree it couldn’t go on forever.
Four weeks of almost unbroken sunshine had to come to an end.
Nevertheless there is a hardly a breeze and the sea is still flat and calm
Temporarily the stunning sets are absent.
There have been occasional breaks in the clouds.
And the late evening sky can still be fascinating to watch.
As yet there has been no heavy downpours.
When all has appeared grey and damp
we have had great company.
What inspiration we have found in our daily visitors.
They have brought colour when all around has been grey.
To see mum feeding the youngsters from a fat ball is fascinating.
What a joy to wake up to bird song.
Somehow we are more conscious of it this year.
Perhaps it is all the feeding that they are receiving.
One observation
The big guys take fright quicker.
Our little friends appear more trusting.
Thanks friends for all the pleasure you bring.
You have been a real source of joy and inspiration.
Even if you are eating us out of house and home.
This is Life on Tiree even when the sun is not shining all day.
