A holiday post 
We have been to Treshnish farm on the Isle of Mull for a holiday for many years as we like the peace and quiet and the wildlife. It's just so remote.
I noticed today on their website they have some cancellations which is rare as normally need to book a year ahead to get a holiday here.
An ideal opportunity if anyone can get the time off work at short notice
Link to the homepage is here.

Treshnish Farm
Sunsets most nights seen from the 'Studio' conservatory windows:

The Studio is the building on the right:

A closer look:
The living room with two 'box' beds built into the wall for children: (what a great idea)
-------------------------------------
Part of the kitchen ( looking down from one of the bedrooms)

A view from Treshnish headland while on a walk, the small island in the distance is called Dutchmans cap.

Calgary beach is a few minutes away:

To get to Mull book a ferry from Oban to Craignure (the Mull ferry terminal) with Calmac:
Official Caledonian MacBrayne Hebridean & Clyde Ferries site
If you have never been to one of the islands it is worth going.
Midges can be a problem in Summer but May is before the midge season usually.
In the same day you might see snakes, basking sharks, otters, sheep, wild mountain goats, white tailed sea eagles (they are HUGE) , lots of deer and best of all not many people at all. 
A random video found on youtube that shows a bit of wildlife:
