As I arrive on Mull I share a poem by Percy Bische Shelley - The Woodman and the Nightingale. And I gave my offering off fresh blood to the Scottish Midges in the process!

This is great Jason, how lucky are we, to see the lock and you sharing your images and reading poetry. Thank you, sleep well.
This is kind of you to say Lyndsey, thank you.
Welcome back to Scotland Jason. Lovely to see you in Glen Coe earlier. Thank you for the poem tonight and hope you sleep well in the good air of Mull…
Thank you Lynne, yes I had a good, peaceful night and an early start.
What an absolute treat, the images, the poetry and the ‘being there’ too. So enjoying this already ☺️ sleep well, Jason, safely held by all the nature spirits around you
Thank you Anny, great to hear you enjoyed this.
good morning Jason, lovely start to the day. a treasure
Good morning Joan, thank you. That’s great to hear.
🤣 lovely wee beasties, the joys of visiting the highlands in summer. Thanks for reciting the poem.
Aren’t they fun!! Yep they keep me on my toes.
Oh this is just wonderful, as an armchair traveller these days I cannot think of a better place to be than in your company at the Lochside and being read to so beautifully as I drink my morning cuppa, (midge free to boot 😂). Bless you 🙏
This is great to hear Michelle, thank you. It’s so peaceful and quiet here this morning. I had to navigate my way through wandering Hedgehogs and sleepy lambs as I drove. And then the big bull by the beach!
Poetic pause with a beautiful backdrop. A great reminder to stop and pause no matter how busy we are we just need a gentle nudge to remind ourselves of the stunning nature and wildlife we are fortunate to have. Beautifully read and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words here Jewels. We have so much to be grateful for haven’t we.
Words softly spoken ‘the blue serene’ and wild bird song, totally magical and the promise of a white-tailed Eagle. What a gift, thank you X
Thank you Anne, and you are most welcome. x
Sounds and looks like you are in your elements – hope the midges weren’t too bad
Absolutely am John! Thank you. The Smidge seems to stop them biting but they still follow me in a cloud.
Such glorious language and beautifully read Jason. Really loving these snippets of peace and tranquility from Mull and your fabulous images. Hope the midges leave you alone 👍
Thank you Kate. I’m enjoying sharing them, and the midges are treating me ok. 🙂
