Working away - Tiree

It's been over a month since I packed up my bags and travelled to Tiree to work over Summer. It seems a whole world away from my life in Manchester, and I love it! I'm now home for a few weeks to see my family and friends before heading back to stay for 3-4 months. I'm so excited and I thought I would share a few photos from my trip, the weather was pretty good most of the time!

We stayed in a cottage for the first week, and then in a static caravan for the other three. There is no wifi at the caravan and I'm not going to lie, I was a little lost without it. But we have recently bought a house on the Island so I found myself driving there most days to use our own wifi, which might be somewhat slow but it's better than nothing! The caravan had a nice view of the sea and the owner has a very cute cat called Betty.

I really enjoyed my new job and I got another job on a Saturday which i'll be starting when I go back. 

Summer Road Trip

A few photos from a road trip last Summer. Late night driving and watching the sunset in the Scottish highlands, followed by an early morning ferry to Tiree.

And all at once summer collapsed into fall...

The morning sun now peeks through my curtains and creates a soft glow in the late morning.

Daisy loves to snuggle up on the cream blanket at the end of my bed.

I wish I could say this was the view from my bedroom, but it was actually the view from a cottage on holiday, and hopefully one day it will be my view!

Blueberry bagels with butter and a cup of milk (definitely not in a coffee cup ahem) .

Barefoot walks through the garden to collect the eggs in the morning laid by our lovely chickens.

Using their eggs to make mini Victoria sponge cakes with whipped cream and strawberries!

Home made apple pie with apples out of the garden, delicious!

 Relaxing on my bed and my admiring my soon to be gone Tiree tan.

And that is what I have been up to now that summer has come to an end, baking, designing, egg collecting and photographing everything!

Tiree 2013

 I have finally got around to writing this post about my holiday to Tiree. I got back a few weeks ago but haven't had chance to do it so here it is, better late than never!

I had a lovely time, we had lots of barbeques on the beach, and even a bonfire. I found a really cute little cat outside a gift shop called Chocolates and charms, he looked just like my cat but smaller so we christened him 'mini le flueff'. We went surfing a couple of times but the waves were tiny so we just floated around on our boards but it was still good fun, especially because I couldn't go in the sea last year because of my foot operation!

I was given driving lessons off my parents and I was also allowed to drive the car along a grassy track a few times because I have my provisional license now so it was good practice, I really hope that next year I can go with my friend and I am now saving up for a vw campervan (a pretty one) and hopefully we will go there next year and camp by the beach.

(I dyed my hair dark brown as the blonde went a funny colour again and I felt that it didn't suit me)

 I am back from my holiday :( I wish I wasn't, it was so good! we had BBQ's on the beach and I took lots of photos, so here are a few :) x
