Hello again!

Yes, today Trish has asked me to write the cottage blog as she is just so busy ( she's got a new poly tunnel, and we can't keep her out).

Anyway, I'll bring you up to date.

Another super summer, aren't we lucky?  It's seldom that the Glasgow Fair has wall to wall sunshine but so far so good and the beach is packed. Quite a nuisance really as Arne and I just love running flat out from end to end, but it does scare people a bit. But our friend Mairi has been staying next door and taking us swimming everyday so it's been great.   Anway the cottages have been nice and busy and lots of dogs to welcome, and teach the Doggy Country Code to (don't chase sheep, don't chase the hens, don't chase people, go easy on deer - who always win anyway) ;  most of them are what I call portmanteau dogs ( labradoodles, cockieleekie and the like ) which seem to be very fashionable these days. Who am I to talk?  I'm proud to be a daffie (staffie/debateable) and of course my good friend Arne is a Gollie (Golden Retriever/Collie).  What will they come up with next?  Scope there for a competition.

Forthcoming attractions?  Well there's a nice Gaelic Concert on the cards, a tapestry exhibition in the Village Hall (22nd - 24th August) and of course the Harbour Day on the 2nd.  You'll remember that last year I was second in the best dressed pirate dog competition.  Hope Scott asks me again this year as I have knocked up a few  eye patches and got myself some lovely leather boots from the Red Cross shop in Campbeltown.  Here's hoping!

Already getting bookings in for NEXT YEAR!  How on earth can people plan that far ahead? I have to keep Trish right on these ones as she  bungled a double booking this year from someone who had booked months in advance.  She assures me it won't happen again, and one of our fellow cottage letters will always come to the rescue.

Well I'm off down to Campeltown to watch the Commonwealth Games Opening at the Cinema.  The wonderful wee cinema in the town now has constant programmes - both films and streamed in from heaven knows where.  So if you're here with your phones/tablets etc just tune into the weepictures web site and find something to entertain you.
