Happy New Year

All the best in 2008!

Mind - January is a rotten month! No money, no daylight, no energy and cold, wet, windy weather!

I saw the New Year in on Coll - a small island on the fringes of the Inner Hebrides alongside Tiree (made famous by weather forecasts). It was a good place to visit with nice walks, friendly folks, a funny panto and fireworks. Kudos to Kevin for a fantastic display of Fireworks - great display and great Hotel. I also tried my hand at clay-pigeon shooting. It was a load of fun!

My particular thanks must go to Julian and Pauline - lovely folks at the First Port of Coll. A really great place with great food and good people. Poor Julian broke his arm the night before Hogmanay - I hope he is not in too much discomfort. Get well soon!

One good thought - the days are going to get longer and lighter and Springtime is approaching. There is always that to look forward to!

Once again, Happy New Year!
