Up with the lark!

5.30am start, yet another ferry! over the sea to the island of Islay.
Slept most of the journey till captain came on & said "we are aproaching Port Ellen, we need to diengage the stabelisers thus the ferry will rock a little!, could all passengers please sit down & not stand until we are docked!" Doesnt exactly inspire confidence but when you kno they have already pranged the pier last year about 3 times, you understand his reticense. He slowly inched her in bit by bit.

Arrived then hoofed up to do games with about 30 kids! me that hates ankle snappers! Anyhows it was then back to form filling with 5pm yesterday as deadline but made it ..phew. Tehn was the MC for the ceilidh in the evening, hence the picture. These yonsters were very good, sang & played their wee guts out. A fe drams later & totally chilled but a raging gale made me fret I may marooned but what better place to be on an island with 7 distelerries!
