More from my favourite of yesterday's shielings, inc map (so many sites!) & an amazing painting @jmclarenstudio did while I was there. Can anyone help with the significance of its name, Airigh nan Linntean? (I only know Linntean from e.g. 'Na Linntean Meadhanach'/Middle Ages).
The Frayed Atlantic Edge pb is released this month (planning a very lovely event...). Never asked before, but it'd be really appreciated if anyone who liked it reviewed on a big site (esp goodreads, where current views aren't as, err, enthusiastic as elsewhere!). It really helps!
Children's book lovers: giving my fee from @UllapoolBookFes to Ullapool bookshop to give away 6-8 copies of each of 3 books. But I'm no expert. Maybe @HelenKellock 'Star in The Forest' for youngest. Any ideas for older children? Scottish authors/illustrators; nature/sea themes.
To @Lighthousebks, Edinburgh, next Wed to talk coasts & arts with @cmarieriley (please do come along!). Then hanging round town on Thurs (if anyone wants to get coffee & writing-/boats-/sea-chat?).
A dreich day for the kayak to Clear Island, surf strafing beaches. Excellent caves & dapper GN divers along the way.
New blog post, 'Through Seafoam into Spring: Kayaking South on the Irish Atlantic', https://t.co/KMR8Cir2ts
Who could resist the dive? (when Northern-Isles kelp looks so tropical & the puffin like a sea parrot?)
