Dear @russellcrowe if you are enchanted with this part of the world and if you read anything about the Scottish Highlands it should be this:
'Windswept: life, nature and deep time in the Scottish Highlands' by @RedRiverCroft published by @WmCollinsBooks

The view from my office today …

Literally devastating news

And almost certainly even worse because the models don't include the effects of huge volumes of Greenland meltwater pouring into the North Atlantic at a rate of 30 million tonnes AN HOUR

Croft, Coast and Hill: Letters from the NW Highlands of Scotland.
As Easter approaches, Kirsteen Bell and I find sweet grass, sweeter herbs, and thin wobbles of lambs. (I love writing these letters!)
Happy reading...

Late afternoon squall over South Erradale. A rainbowed snow veil hiding the mountains, filling the river, and stinging my eyes.

Spring, Wester Ross, Highlands of Scotland.

A bridal veil of blackthorn blossom.

Skylarks!!!
Above the bubbling songs of shore birds... SKYLARKS!!

If you need some peace & solace, some time out from the relentlessly febrile news feed, here's the sea near my home, about 15 mins after sunset, when the world was still & all I could hear was my own breathing.

(Today it's pouring down & the wind is rattling the roof 🤣)

[Annie O'Garra Worsley @RedRiverCroft]

A strange cold calm, a short pause in the stream of biting winds from the east, everything & everyone wrapped in a comfort blanket of solace, peace & light, much-needed respite from the mayhem & chaos of the wider world.

View over the croft to the Torridon mountains.

Sunday afternoon read 😊

Strange weather, wonderful beaches, places and people. Time ticking. The wonders of the natural world.

Beinn Eighe from the road home. High summits. Confusions of snow, flusters of cloud. But oh my, the late afternoon light.
Wester Ross, Highlands of Scotland.

One of the most awe-inspiring displays I've ever seen - the #NorthernLights just a short while ago.
The colours are exactly as we witnessed - vibrant, rich and profound. I am completely overwhelmed and utterly humbled.
