FERN VILLA DIARY17 May 2012 Some of you will be familiar with Robert Louis Stevenson's book Kidnapped, but did you know it was based on a true story of a murder that happened not too far from here? It is known locally as The Appin Murder, you can view some documentation from the case here. There is now a long distance wilderness walk, called The Stevenson Way, that takes you along the route of the story.Posted by: Fern Villa on 17/05/2012 15:19:43
14 May 2012 As folk who have visited us will know, we have a map on the breakfast room wall where guests can stick a pin to show where they have come from (Europe is a bit overcrowded so we really need a separate map for there). It is a good talking point in the mornings. Yesterday we had a new country 'pinned' - Mongolia. It is really amazing have far people travel to stop off in our little guest house in the small village of Ballachulish. The world really is getting smaller.Posted by: Fern Villa on 14/05/2012 13:35:50
08 May 2012 A baby blackbird has been visiting the garden and daddy has been doing a good job of keeping him fed. When dad is not there the baby is very hard to spot.Posted by: Fern Villa on 08/05/2012 19:47:25
