Early Morning Mist

It's 5:30am and Mum has just woken me.  Whilst everyone else sleeps we quietly dress and find our shoes. A quick gulp from a shared cup of tea and then we are out the back door.

The sun is not up yet but the islands of Mull and Colonsay are silhouetted against a glowing golden sky, the promise of a beautiful day ahead.  We walk and talk quietly as we dip down a hill and in to the hollow filled with mist sweeping down from the lochs on the moor.  This is how I started my first day on Islay.
