"I find myself in the early morning, in the tiny walled courtyard at the back of the house, looking upwards to the skies and lamenting the absence of birds. I don’t know if I can write without them." https://t.co/3LQUpnfS7D
Thanks @DialectWriters #movinghome #belonging #amwriting

@GWRHelp My son just got off train and found he has left a valuable on board! Is there any way we can contact the conductor to retrieve it? It's kind of an emergency - please can we chat privately? Thank you!

In Celtic mythology, the Milky Way has its origins in the story of Deidre and Noíse (one of the Children of Uisneach), lovers who were buried apart, either side of a lake. From each grave grew up a tree, their branches entwining in the sky, forming an arch. #folklorethursday

Once, by the Chapel of St Blane on the Isle of Bute, there was an ash tree. Young lovers would climb into its branches to gather its leaves, for to eat them before sleep would evoke dreams of the face of the one you were destined to marry. 💕 #folklorethursday #ValentinesDay

@CalMac_Updates Is the 09.45 from Port Ellen to Kennacraig running today?

[Méadbh Bruce @MeadbhBruce]

@CalMac_Updates Perfect - thank you

[Méadbh Bruce @MeadbhBruce]

@ScotRail Is the Glasgow 08.30 to Edinburgh 09.56 on Sunday still running and will there be disruption to any later trains on that route?

[Méadbh Bruce @MeadbhBruce]

@CalMac_Updates Morning - is this service still likely to run?

[Méadbh Bruce @MeadbhBruce]

@ScotCitylink Thank you

[Méadbh Bruce @MeadbhBruce]

@ScotCitylink ferry from Islay to Oban cancelled tomorrow. Was booked on Citylink 18.15 Oban to Glasgow. Can I transfer ticket to Kennacraig Glasgow instead?

[Méadbh Bruce @MeadbhBruce]

@ScotCitylink No problem. If the ferry is late, will the bus wait? We are due to arrive Kennacraig at 3, and bus is 3.15.
