Hello everyone. So sorry for the long silence. It's all because I hate technology. TypePad (who I used to provide the service to write this blog) changed the way of getting into the site and I couldn't work it out. I sent them several emails asking for help, all of which were totally ignored. Eventually I got in touch with my mate Neil Maclean who set up the thing in the first place and who kindly indulged my stupidity and got me on the right track. Thanks Neil. Actually Neil and I go back a long time to the days when he was a travel and food writer (of the top class variety) and I was a PR consultant specialising in tourism and food. It's good to keep in touch, albeit seldom these days as he's really busy with his exciting new business using the latest technology as a PR tool.
Talking of old chums, I tootled down to Oban (a mere 70 miles) to have lunch with Ko de Korte who is one of the original expedition cruise people. He's now with Oceanwide Expeditions and was over from Holland for a couple of business meetings (Oban is one of the ports Oceanwide uses). It was a pleasure to see him and to discuss future plans which could be rather exciting. I'll keep you posted.
Other news is that we're redesigning the Island Holidays website to reflect a new approach which is being introduced gradually. Watch this space. And now I'd better go off and vote. No, I'm not going to tell. Suffice it to say that I'll go with a person who I know and trust and who has a proven track record. But I do believe it's important to exercise the right to vote: speaking as a woman, I have to say that others of my ilk died to enfrancise the likes of me and it would be positively criminal to walk away just because politics is rubbish!
Talk again soon - promise!
