MOD WEEK MADNESS

The MOD is just a few weeks away now and any choir that has left it until now to book accommodation will surely struggle in Oban. We have a small one bedroom chalet left but out large lodges have been booked for a year! It's 4 years since the MOD was last in Oban and it's fitting that it should return to its birthplace during Scotland's Year of Homecoming.

The End of Summer.....

As I write this van loads of students are struggling to unload their kit in the driving rain that seems to have been a common theme of the last few weeks. August was a wash out weather wise and I can only admire the fortitude of those holidaymakers that 'dress for the weather' and manage to have a good time despite it. Certainly today is Autumnal and the longed for Indian Summer seems a long way off.

For my sins, I have been away in Glasgow from Monday to Friday for the last 6 weeks having treatment at the Beatson Centre. It's weird how you don't get a true feel for the weather in a city centre. Here you can see the weather changing as the clouds roll in and out. As I look over the hills I am guessing that within a few hours the present rain will have blown through. The disadvantage of living on the west coast is that we get the Atlantic fronts first - but then it does make good whisky and I have never watered a patio pot yet!

Alfie, our Great Dane puppy is now bigger than Lui the Lab - I guess I notice him growing as I am only home at the weekends. Katie, our eldest, did well in her exams and is off to Aberdeen Uni at the end of this month. The twins are back at school in Perth and the long summer holidays are becoming a memory. Jim and I need to sit down and work out our prices for 2010. We'll try to keep increases to a minimum and our returning customers will be able to cash in vouchers for all bar July and August bookings. If you don't get your voucher by email within the next month - get in touch. Technology is not infallible and sometimes emails go astray.
