25 Jun 2010 Well it seems strange to be saying it, but thank goodness we've had a bit of rain. All the burns were running dry and the waterfalls weren't worth getting your camera out for. The folk who get their water from natural springs were beginning to get a bit concerned. Only rained lightly in Ballachulish but must have come down a bit heavier up on the tops. After a hot day and then the rain everywhere smelt of honeysuckle.Posted by: Fern Villa on 25/06/2010 10:05:27
16 May 2010 This week we have been busy with weddings and mountain bikes. It would appear that hardy folk enjoy getting married out of doors here on the west coast, earlier in the week a small ceremony took place on a hill at the back of the village, unfortunately the picnic planned for after had to be cancelled and the wedding party moved into our breakfast room. We dashed around swapping the jam pots for wine glasses and hid the various cereal packets out of sight. And another wedding today 'somewhere' on the West Highland Way. We have been told that the groom and the minister are tackling a Munro before hand. And then to the mountain bikes taking part in the Glencoe Downhill today. Hope that the wedding and the race don't clash.Posted by: Fern Villa on 16/05/2010 11:36:10
