Lots of wonderful, local produce and craft to enjoy, as well as lovely vibes! 💕

I captured a bumble bee in flight!! 🐝

I was trying to film the wildflowers and hadn’t realised there was a busy bee in amongst them, so held my camera still and caught it taking off!!!

Without these busy bees, there wouldn’t be the wildflowers, so I’m super grateful for this wee fella ❤️

Without the wildflowers there wouldn’t be bees, so I’m also thankful we have so many areas still left wild here in Oban.

There is nothing quite like a walk in the forest to settle the nervous system, be thankful, and regain a sense of peace that can be all too lacking in our busy worlds.

For those of you who may not have a forest near by, here’s a little snapshot of mine 💚

Thankfully no midgies the day I filmed this! 😆

The Scottish Midgie…

🥷 Tiny, silent, ninjas that travel with their pals

🌅 Most active just before dawn and sunset

💕 Only the females bite

💨 Struggle to fly in winds over 10km/h

☀️ Don’t like strong sunshine (bring back the heatwave!)

🌊 Rarely found on sandy beaches, especially if there is a sea breeze

❤️ Rife in humid, wet and cloudy conditions! (But I find they don’t come out in heavy rain ☔️)

There is a midgie forecast, which can be found and midgie merchandise !

Best repellents are or citronella spray. If they are really bad, you’re gonna need a midgie net! 😳

Any other advice you’d give….?

The poppies are everywhere at the moment! Mostly yellow, but some a beautiful orange.

My camera was struggling to capture the final design of this card, but in real life, I think it’s lovely 💛

What a weekend! The Campbeltown peninsula did not disappoint 💕

Machrihanish and Westport beach was incredible. 5km of golden sands.

A stay at Argyll Hotel Bellochantuy was perfect, what wonderful service, location and breakfast!!! 👌

Russ nailed the Mull of Kintyre Half Marathon and 10k Race , which was brilliantly organised.

We’ll be back 🙌🏻
