The "Festive Season" is rapidly approaching in Arisaig as elsewhere. Carol singers and Santa, complete with elves and workshop, have visited the Cnoc na Faire. The new, weatherproof, ultra modern tree has been lit up and welcomes visitors. David and Jenny (and myself) have had their birthdays, as has a rather surprised Stuart of Rockhopper sea kayaking, and the parties, complete with Tequila Cocktail fountains and an abundance of girls in school uniform sporting bunches, are over for another year. Sue's house was well and truly warmed as the hung over party-goers traipsed in for bacon sarnies and potent mulled wine.
Becoming a full-time builder has its responsibilties - out in all weathers and keeping an eye on who is going where and why, all of which passes me by at the moment. 
The weather has turned a little wintry. Rum, Roshven and the Cuillins have a sprinkling, and the Ben has a good covering of snow. Davey has hopes of a good season at Nevis Range this year.
A few more concerts, Christmas dinners and parties and we will be ready for Christmas day and a walk on the beach at Camusdarach or Traigh before Christmas dinner.
Will you be here? We still have vacancies for Christmas week and one property free for New Year week if you would like to join us at Ach na skia Croft, where you can chill out and forget your worries.
