Our day marking the life of Eigg's beloved John Chester was as beautiful as it was sad. It started with an embrace of sunshine and snowy vistas and ended with food drink music & countless stories of a small quiet humble man whose passing leaves a huge hole in our community.

We loved him...

Get creative on Eigg this year! Join Laurie King and basket makers from All About Willow, Catherine Davies and Pascal Carr, for a creative retreat on the beautiful Isle of Eigg. For more information visit laurieking.org/weave-gather-m…

Hurghada Egypt - 10/10

We are enjoying our second week staying at Hurghada -Egypt. 1. Little Egret fishing outside our lagoon room. . 2. 3rd blue ringed stingray seen so far. . 3. The walk to lunch (where the stingrays are seen- safely) . 4. The sunrise view outside our room. #hurghada

Our fourth blue spotted stingray spotted on the way back from lunch. The home reef 🪸 is perfect as they are a bottom feeder. The light is difficult but such a surprise when we spot them. #hurghadaegypt Arabia Azur Resort 100% recommend the resort. #bluespottedstingray
