Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.

Well it may be the season of mists etc etc, but it’s not been my finest month. Progress at George St is painfully slow, although I must point out that this has nothing to do with the trades people we have had. They have all been fantastic, and worked away  tirelessly. They have also all [...]

End of the season

September Weekend is traditionally the end of the tourist season in Millport. There are fireworks, events including the exciting “Best Decorated Bike” , and best of all, the windows of many shops and houses are decorated with home made displays, sometimes loosely round the theme of “Millport Holdays” ,sometimes something that is dear to the [...]

A wet Weekend

Due to being run by an English company, we creche ladies get the Bank Holiday Monday at the end of August. For the last three years, we have had a” Team Building Exercise” where we all descend on an unsuspecting Millport, and give it laldy. As you might imagine, this is looked forward to immensely. [...]

I’m still waiting…

Wow, where did the last six weeks go since my last blog?? I would be delighted to tell you that we have made progress on the purchase of George st- in fact we should have got the keys and been happily ripping walls down by mid April. But alas, there’s many a slip twixt cup [...]

more house hunting

Well Chris and I have been very busy little bees since I last wrote. We have been looking at houses all over bloody Scotland actually, and in the process got to meet way more Estate agents than is healthy.Some were oily and smarmy, some were resigned( to us noticing the massive cracks in the wall [...]

In the deep midwinter

Hello, me hearties, well first of all let me apologise for the long silence. We have been decorating the front room since after Christmas, and due to my dodgy wireless connection on my lap top, it’s rather curtailed my computer time.Hopefully we are nearing the end of the decorating- I’m sick of only having one  [...]

happy new year

well its New Year’s Eve-probably my least favourite holiday… There always seems a lot of pressure to have a brilliant night, and even as a young lass I never seemed to achieve the required single minded commitment to Party like its 1999. In Glasgow, anyway, it always seemed to be raining heavily- or snowing- [...]

creche ladies in millport and cowboy weekend

There are only four permanent staff at the creche ,and some supply staff. Last year to celebrate Irene’s graduation, we went down on the bank holiday weekend, staying in the George Hotel, and we had such a brilliant time that we thought we would do it again this year- staying ,of course at Casa Jen [...]

July and August

The flat has been well used since our fortnight at the start of July( already a dim and pleasant memory to me..)My work mate Irene followed my stay with her husband Bill for a week, and despite my “bible” telling people how to use equipment in the flat, Irene forbade Bill from touching ANYTHING. They [...]

Chris arrived home safely from Glastonbury on monday evening, tired and carrying a bag full of smelly muddy clothes.Tuesday was wet, and a bit chilly, but we loaded the car up with all the stuff and Jack, and set off.We stopped at Tesco for a few provisions- well, actually, about £90 of food to keep [...]
