Thanks for your kind words, Sue. And how poetic your own comment is – I can really feel those mountains and wide skies now. I love mountains too although I agree that nothing quite compares to the ocean.

Ouch, yes, Katherine. I wish I could say that I’d blocked out memories of the midges but I think that’s impossible. We used to drive past Gruinard Bay and I was always fascinated by the murky history of the anthrax testing – I was a morbid child!

Thanks again for providing support re ‘the patient’ – it was easier to cope with all the positive thoughts being offered.

I think I covered almost the entire west coast of Scotland during childhood holidays. I have very fond memories of Loch Broom, Stac Pollaidh and the wonderful colour of the water in Gruinard Bay. I have less fond memories of the midges!

Kirsty~ You really captured me with this post, I love your ability to communicate a sense of place through words. I know that need to reconnect with those places that renew and sustain us. For me it has been the ocean, but there are two large mountain ranges between my home and the coast now so I have had to find substitutes, the wide open spaces, the endless vistas, a big sky. And the excitement of a fresh palette of color and an empty canvas, with the entire day ahead of me.
