Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
a sense of peace
hangs bare in the unmasking
of the day’s blue

Wishing you all a beautiful Tuesday,

These photographs were taken on 1st March 2020 before the lockdown. You can see more images from the same walk in our March 2020 posts Approaching Spring, Waves of Gratitude, Worm Moon Sky and in yesterday’s post Looking Back.
I’m using the restrictions during the lockdown as an opportunity to share images from walks taken earlier this year to help lift our spirits.
Wishing you all a blessed Tuesday,
with love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

Twiglet #171: Kept its Fizz
It has been a worrying weekend for many of us in the Highlands and other tourist destinations. Beauty spots in England, Wales and Scotland were swamped by visitors at a time when everyone has been asked to refrain from non-urgent travel.
This morning the caravan parks have closed and most people are returning home. They have better medical support there than they would have in remote parts of the country.
We can understand that people want to visit their favourite places. If we all work together to flatten the curve, this will soon be possible again.

Update: At 8.30 pm on 23rd March 2020 the UK Government ordered a lockdown in the interest of keeping everyone safe.
We hope you are all safe and well.
Wishing you a peaceful Monday and a beautiful new week,
with love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

The early morning breeze is invigorating, the surf behind us roars. Eivor and Pearl shimmy between scattered seaweed, branches peeled from drifting trees. Seagulls are feasting on crabs, before the curlew get here.
