Soon be the shortest day!


June 16, 2011
Hello

I have had a lovely time, with many visitors calling in, staying for a day or two and old friends being here too.

Yet again, Angela and Richard Hough had good weather during their week’s stay!  Cid and Di Warden were not so lucky…. Heike and Arndt, here four years ago, brought Heike’s parents all the way from Belgium last week. Thank you all for the lovely flowers!  A friend came in to the be-decked house the other day and said “It’s not your birthday – is it?”  They are all going strong – Arndt, pop over from Belgium, reach up and water the hanging basket, please!  I shall get the steps out and not balance and fall off a chair….

This week Malcolm and Denise Bain (Malcolm painted Yarrow, Sponge and Ruah before) have returned and they have been joined by Henry and Laura from Florida.  As the weather is really unpredictable, a “Plockton” jigsaw is rapidly taking shape.  The photo of Henry and Laura was taken at 10.40pm, when the yachts in the background show just how light it is at that time here, in June.

In the last six weeks we have welcomed guests from eleven countries and a first from Cyprus!  Thank you for coming, one and all!

Though we cannot guarantee the weather in the North West of Scotland, I can guarantee a very warm welcome at Heron’s Flight!
