Tues 28th April Today was a potter day. I relaxed in bed for a while then walked into Campbeltown to have a look round the shops. As I mentioned in a previous post, I have started using shops/craft shops as galleries and inspiration. I went into one that had lovely jewellery and paintings, and I …

Sun 26th April I thought I had rested long enough in Tarbert and decided that today I would progress in my journey on towards Campbeltown.

Sun 19th – Wed 22nd April On the Sunday night we passed by the north of Cornwall and said goodbye to the coast as we pushed away up St Georges Channel towards Wales and Ireland. I felt incredibly lucky on the night watches to be able to experience the night sky from sea. As you …
