At last!  A good drying day.  And just as well with three cottages changing over, our number 1 gentleman cleaner winging his way to the Algarve to play golf, new taps needed in Mhairi's,  and piles of ironing to be done so we had enough sheets. However Mike and I can turn our hands to anything, and wonderful Audrey did the ironing in double quick time, so all was well for our next visitors.  But as you get shown into a nice clean and tidy cottage, little do you realise the rushing around that has gone on in the background.

At one time I had 4 letting caravans on the caravan site and armed with our ancient land Rover (which Mike swears he will rebuild one day) fitted with a generator (for the vac.) I would sometimes have to get them all changed over and ready on a Saturday.  Nowadays many people book for shorter than a week, and for  any day, which actually makes our life much easier.

This coming weekend is the Mull of Kintyre Music Festival in Campbeltown with some terrific gigs. It has gone back to its Celtic Roots and with the Treacherous  Orchestra and Diamh it has some real pros.  We saw the latter in South Cork in May when we go over to a Fiddle Fair, and it will be nice to see them again in the Heritage Centre which is a lovely venue.

We are coming up to the last trips of the season of  The Waverley paddle steamer  from Tarbert.  We went a fornight ago and had a brilliant afternoon.  To be hugely recommended.  2.45 from Tarbert Pier every Wednesday afternoon.
