As well as doing our own paddling we've started renting out sea kayaks. If you have some experience and fancy a day or two on the water when you're up here in the Arisaig area, check out SeaKayakHighlands.
Friends and blog followers may wonder how the house building project is going. Well, what do you think? Slowly!! You just have to make the most of the long days and lovely weather. Hoping to have water and electricity soon and maybe some window cills. No birds nesting in the house this year, now that windows and doors sealed off. The greatest amount of frog and toad spawn ever around the house was doing well until the prolonged dried spell, when most of them perished, sadly, despite our attempts at relocation!
Rabbits are doing way too well, on the other hand. We have normal rabbit-coloured rabbits, black or partly black rabbits, and white or partly white rabbits. Very colourful and cute, but extremely annoying when they eat all the plants you've just carefully bought and planted out.
On the Croft, guests have been happy and enjoying some mixed, but mostly good, weather. Sunsets have been up to scratch and dolphins gave a great display in Mallaig harbour one day. Sheerwater trips to the islands are well under way and the "Jacobite" Steam Train is back and chuffing up and down between Mallaig and Fort William.
We're fully booked until 29th. August except for one little lonely week on 27th. June in the Cottage up for grabs if you fancy a break before the school hols. get going in ernest. It sleeps up to 4 in 2 bedrooms and has a great garden and views across the sea to Rum, Eigg and Skye. (oh, and lots of rabbits!) Check "Ach na skia Croft offers" for details. Wi-Fi internet access, use of sauna and games room. Home from home!If you're a twitterer, we now do a little twittering ourselves, so check us out on Twitter.
Well, that's enough of being indoors - I'm off out into the sun . . . .
