    That's beautiful @Uff. You mentioned Mull in another post - were you up there at the same time as my sister? I think they were just a bit disappointed with their accommodation, a bit too, too remote, even for them! They were gutted not to see any seals or sea eagles either. They did say it was a beautiful area though.

    I was up there in Sept again Lizzie27. Where on Mull did she stay, I know the island very well? I usually try to stay in the centre of the island so it's easier for getting around.

    Hi @Uff, they didn't actually stay on the island, but overlooked it from the mainland opposite Tobermory, at the end of the road.

    Ah beautiful there @Lizzie27. Was it near Kilchoan, near the little ferry that crosses over to Mull? If it is then yes it is very remote.

    @Uff, No, I think it was even further up the coast, about ten miles away from the ferry. Single track road which ended in the hamlet, something with a 'L' from memory (sorry, can't reach the map at the moment.

    She might have been on the Morven peninsular then @Lizzie27

    We've just returned from a week not far from there, @Uff @Lizzie27, at the end of our nearly 3-week visit to the UK.  Spent most of the week doing maintenance on the cottage (which belongs to our son), so it didn't matter that it rained most of the time.  We had a rainbow too:

    You'll have had the same weather as I did then Liriodendron  :) Thursday was the most idyllic day.
