Storm Amy has been wild, currently tucked up in my van north of Lochinver, it has been a long 18+ hours of this torrential rain and winds. Happy to be cosy in van 🚐 I had a lovely birthday yesterday with a chilly sea dip, beaches & otter watching before the storm hit. This is my view tonight 😬

An amazing amount of Velella, or 'by the wind sailors' washed up on the west coast beaches today & bigger in size than any other year I remember. But look closer, you will notice a very special shell attached... a violet sea snail 😍 my first one I've ever found #OuterHebrides
