A view from an Islay ferry on a crossing from Port Askaig to Kennacraig in November 2023. A dusting of snow on some of the Jura hills under some low clouds.

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.

A memory from an Islay walking week walk a good number of years ago. We walked in the hills in the south of Islay, where we came across some of the last remaining snow of the previous winter (the walk was in April). In the distance you can see the Paps of Jura, from left to right Beinn a’ Chalois, Beinn an Oir and Beinn Shiantaidh.
