It is over a month since I wrote - where does the time go to?
The new oil tank is in place and it all happened very smoothly. I am now getting that bit of the garden planted again – some soil and pots dotted around, till I decide what will go where.
Moira, Catriona, Sean and Daniel are spending the school holiday abroad! They go to Tenerife at the end of the week, then board a cruise ship and visit various islands and the north coast of Morocco for seven days. All concerned are looking forward to it very much…..
My first guests arrive towards the end of April and I am really looking forward to seeing Angela and Richard Hough.
More local news before I sign off. Our little drama club won the area finals and so progress, at the end of this month, to the Scottish finals, in Orkney! Quite a few from the village have booked to go too.
I have finally sold the Grey Fergie tractor to friends in Drumbuie, just four miles from here. I am very pleased, as she will be used and looked after and I’ll see her some days, when I drive to Kyle.
There is no sign of my joiner friend, who will put up new fascia boards and down pipes where necessary…. But my painter friend is scheduled to arrive the last week of this month – to tackle the outside of Heron’s Flight. I’ll tell you about this in a later piece of news!
The village is very busy this weekend and the visitors are enjoying a lovely sunny Easter Sunday. I hope you may come to Plockton one day and say hello.

PS I was busy over the winter re-covering an old chair, a family heirloom, and have just finished it. If I say so myself, I'm really pleased at how good it now looks!
