Posted on 16th July 2016 by NomadWarMachine

Another lazy morning at the cottage yesterday, then out for a walk after lunch to Grasspoint, about 3 miles away from here. With binoculars around our necks and cameras at the ready (Niall took six – yes, six! with him) … Continue reading →

Ardalanish Farm, Mull

Posted on 12th July 2016 by NomadWarMachine

We stayed up far too late on Sunday night, so Monday morning was a lazy time checking what was going on in CLMooc and drinking lots of tea. I’d discovered that Ardalanish Farm, a mere 30 miles away, had a working … Continue reading →

Mull

Posted on 10th July 2016 by NomadWarMachine

This week we’re staying in a wee cottage on Mull, so yesterday we drove up through Glencoe and up to Lochaline to get the wee ferry across. Niall was frustrated throughout the journey with painfully slow (and erratic) drivers, and … Continue reading →

Who am I this month?

Posted on 10th July 2016 by NomadWarMachine

I had meant to spend more time crafting my intro to  CLMooc16 – trying out some tools I’d not used before, curating some of my digital artefacts – that sort of thing. But then Brexit happened, and everything changed. For … Continue reading →

Spiky

Posted on 3rd July 2016 by NomadWarMachine

Leading Lines

Posted on 26th June 2016 by NomadWarMachine
