Scottish Islands

Now I don't usually use this blog to tell you about stuff I'm selling but this one I can't resist.  Do you remember that last June I chartered a Russian ship and took 40 people around the Scottish Islands to celebrate our 21st anniversary?   It was one of the best weeks I've ever had and I still sort of glow when I think about it.   Here's a photo of me and the captain taken on Fair Isle - our ship was the blue and white one hiding round the corner.

Well, I got an email yesterday to say that a similar trip at the end of May/beginning of June is on special offer and so we can offer a 10% discount.  It's the first time ever that Island Holidays has discounted anything - and we're not really, just passing on what's been given to us.   I rather suspect there'll be a big rush for this bargain so hurry hurry hurry!

It's rather nice to look at this photo today and remember the brilliant weather we had for the week (apart from one night with a force 8 which was a bit bumpy).  It's 9.15 a.m. and it hasn't got light yet - don't think it will.  The rain is tipping down again and it's all pretty unpleasant.  Not as bad as for those of you in Cumbria.   A friend and I had planned to drive down to Gretna today to see the starling roost but we reckoned it's an area best avoided right now.  Another time.

It's hard to keep motivated on a day like this which invites a log fire and a good book.  Instead, there's the inevitable work which never goes away.  Nor does the domesticity - last night's washing up remains to be done I'm ashamed to say!  Tons of ironing as well - I don't know how those of you with families cope.   Then, of course, there are Christmas letters and I stubbornly continue to write each one individually by hand.  Probably a bit of a waste of effort as my hand writing these days is even more appalling than it used to be and it's unlikely anyone will be able to read my scrivening.  Anyway, with all these possibilities I suppose I'd better sign off for now.  Talk again soon.
