Well, here we are;  a little touch of Spring in the cottage garden. Spotted these daffs this morning - one of our few dry and sunny mornings in recent weeks, and thought they'd cheer us all up.

Lots going on in the place;  Network Tearoom is well on the way to being re-furbished - nay, practically rebuilt! - so that's a wee spot you can look forward to visiting.  Josie isn't running it this year - there will be much debate as to who can surpass her wonderful baking.  We'll see.

A great night on Saturday in the hotel when Jane presented one of her brilliant plays.  There she was parading around dressed up as Barbara Cartland, and we all had great fun filling in ridiculous forms  - who would have guessed that Duncan Munroe was a true Romeo at heart.  An excellent buffet  added to the spirit of the evening - especially as Tom and Marcus have been wielding paint brushes and the dining room and lounge are looking terrific - very 21st century.

We're off to the pictures to night - Campbeltown Cinema has magnificenly raised the money to go digital, and this seems to mean that they will give us bigger choice of films.  Don't miss a chance to visit if you're here - the cinema is the oldest continually running cinema in Scotland and a visit there is a very jolly occasion as everyone knows each other.  But you 'll be made very welcome!!

And last week we went over to Putchecan on the west side for an evening at the Stargazers Club.  This is the latest Kintyre idea, and if you are at all into star gazing this part of the world is perfect - no light pollution.  I am the proud owner of an 8" reflecting telescope, and if you're good when you visit we'll get it out on the balcony and show you Jupiter's moons. Eat you heart out Brian Cox.
