Happy to see @isleofrum.bsky.social and @rumdeerresearch.bsky.social here on BlueSky 💙 We had a wonderful stay on the island in April, every day was magical with crazy skies switching from hail showers to sunshine, sun halos and aurora. And wildlife everywhere; sea + golden eagles, divers, otters...

What an amazing day we had. So many people came to our event to celebrate 15 years of community ownership....and many were surprised at the amount we had achieved and our honesty about our challenges.
Feeling blessed and still have a ceilidh yet to dance the night away!
