Holy Isle. I am in familiar territory. But this trip I am getting a lesson in the adjusting to change: Apart from the imminent departure of Adam (shock horror), and a new team running the Centre, there are more than the usual number of new faces and re partnering. I am working in House Care, which is at its busiest, between courses. 30+ sets of sheets need to be put through machine cycles, dried, and folded in a very particular way; 30 yoga mats need to be cleaned; sitting mats vacuumed, and so it goes on.


After a six-hour working day I am pooped, and everything is hurting. A short rest becomes a two-hour snooze. And, before I know it, it’s supper time. Hastily, I plunge into the sea. At least I have done that one thing.


At the end of the day, I sit outside the Peace Hall, Julie’s annuals backlit and thronged with bees. Beautiful.

When I finally take a turn around the garden, views and judgment are quick to surface. Last year the semi-abandoned vibe could be ascribed to Julie “finding her way”.

I would need to find a degree of acceptance beyond what I can currently muster to work in this environment. Just as well, then, that my 3 island days haven’t put me there. I have a bit of time before Grant takes me off the island. So I mozy along to the 15-minute meditation session that some of the volunteers have instigated in the refurbed yurt. It’s a strange development. What’s wrong with the beautiful shrine room and scheduled sitting sessions that have served us non-Tibetan Buddhists for decades? “Some people don’t like the icon of Buddha”, Graham says. Oh come on. I have found it physically tough, this visit. Am I coming to the en...

I arrive Aberdeen at 7 am, having overnighted in a pod (tolerable semi-recliner). Bus to Glasgow via Perth. At the changing post at Perth Park and Ride bus number 2 has a technical problem. A rival company, Stagecoach, sucks us up, at no cost. Sweet. I meet Kev and we have a delightful day moonching around the city.  Random curiosity about a high-rise adjacent to Queen Street station leads to us charming the security guard into showing us the view. A disappointing (not very) Japanese meal is enjoyable in good company.
