Drumwhill: Home, Holiday and Retreat Centre

Hopefully you all got to see the Northern Lights last night, if not there might be another chance tonight.

Last night was the most incredible I've ever seen. The whole sky, in all directions was lit up. With some of the best coming from the South West.

I didn't know which way to look, it was above me, behind me, in front of me. The whole sky dancing 😊

The autumn forest is starting to shine.

The floor a red and brown carpet, looking up a sea of yellow and orange
Each trip into the forest results in me losing myself as I chase the colour through the trees.

It's a beautiful place to be lost and finding myself again is all part of the fun 😊💜

A busy day of guests leaving and guests arriving. The weather is very mixed but Galloway is just beautiful at this time of year as the seasons turn and the forest begins to show such gorgeous colours.

Yesterday I was out for a cycle ride in the late afternoon. Beautiful blue sky and sunshine. I stopped for a sit to enjoy the view and then noticed an ominous cloud appearing. I decided it best to get moving but I didn't beat the rain.
A torrential downpour caused me to seek shelter under a beautiful Horse Chestnut near to Balmaghie Kirk.
The tree was wonderful, keeping me protected from the tempest that had been unleashed.
And the church was beautiful. A gorgeous location overlooking Loch Ken and a lovely place to stop for shelter.

Autumn.....

02/09/2023

Another beautiful day in Galloway.

Autumn is taking tentative steps. Leaves on the ground and the trees beginning to turn. And it's still so sunny and warm.

The latest guests left this morning after a week here and they left such a lovely note.
It was a pleasure to have them here at Drumwhill.

Hearing the children laughing and playing every morning made me smile and they were such lovely, friendly kids. Helping me in the garden one afternoon and inventing games was so much fun 😊

Mum and Dad enjoyed a peaceful evening watching the full moon rise over the loch. It was a beautiful night. Warm, calm and peaceful with owls calling from the forest. I'm so glad they got to experience that.

Dad looked so relaxed and rested when he came to say goodbye. It always fills my heart to see what this place offers to those that come 💜

After a long weekend at Biodanza Festival North. A weekend of love, connection, joy and beautiful moments with beautiful people.
I arrive home to these most wonderful skies.

As good as Elton John was last night, the sunset was pretty special.
So, sorry Elton, I had to go outside.
