Good afternoon. I'd another trip to Dundee over last wknd. 🧡🖤 Saw Utd lose but spent quality time with dad. #Epiphany was a lovely Mass & the drive home to Iona across Mull is special. Last pic: from Iona looking at rain over Mull. Winter's as busy as main tourist season! #isleofiona #mull #roadtrip

Was good to get to Tannadice again last Saturday before I headed back to Iona. Had a smooth drive home Sunday with fab views across #Mull. Got earlier ferry so got back to #Iona without being stranded...result. Busy week at work now, providing hospitality for last guest of the season 👌🏻🙏 #winter

Lovely thread...about...goats ☺️🐐
Are we doing those old-school, meandering, ludicrous threads here? They were the best thing about ol’ Twitter.
And, hoo boy, have I got one for you.
Buckle up. We need to talk about Gromit.

Blowin' a hoolie on Iona. Hunkering down & staying cosy. Storm Bert is making the house rattle. Although Iona is relatively flat, Cnoc A Chalmain' (Hill of the Dove) is slightly elevated, so relentless winds batter us! #isleofiona #windy #roomwithaview #innerhebrides #scottishweather #StormBert 🌬🌪

🎼 On St Cecilia's feast day, I recognise the joy that music brings as a bridge to God! Music has sustained my faith; may it continue to touch hearts, far & wide! Deo Gratias ❤️🙏
