Mini snowman on a Mini Clubman (Journey from Islay)

Something a bit different, a memory from an unusual return journey from Islay at the start of December 2023. Driving on the M6 through Cumbria it started to snow quite heavily, after a treacherous drive I safely arrived at the service station hotel where I was staying for the night. After taking my luggage out of the car I couldn’t resist the pun and had to build a Mini snowman on my Mini Clubman. Hope you like it.

After finishing some Islay single malt whisky shopping at Bruichladdich distillery I noticed a good number of Barnacle Geese passing over the Laddie Shop

A view down Lower School Street in Port Charlotte to Shore Street and Loch Indaal on a partially clear November night on the Rhinns of Islay. If you look closely you can spot some stars in the moonlit night sky.
