The tentative first steps.

I understand the desire to read the blogs of those in difficult/dangerous/unusual circumstances, and of course don't feel myself to belong to any of those categories. But to some people, living on an island the size of a postage stamp (well half by quarter mile) might just qualify or all of the above.
I suppose blogging could be seen as the online equivalent of the analyst's chair, talking about yourself and your life. It remains to be seen if bearing my thoughts for all to see will make me any more or less sane. Enough jibbering though, meet Ceilidh Bandido.
Like most people on these islands, I do a number of things to keep a smile on the bank manager's face. My partner and I have The Puffer, Easdale's only pub and restaurant. I play in a few bands, a ceilidh band, a folk band and (bizarrely) a small Portuguese style pipe band. My partner's 'real' job is textile design, and we do the odd graphic design job as well.
All these jobs together allow us to have enough food on the table for our two wee boys (Sorley and Fergus).
That's the background, and I'm quite sure the rest will bore you all to tears.

My family and I holidayed on Easdale for 3 years running(last holiday was 3years ago). Just visited for the day on Monday 3rd May. The Puffer is a lovely warm and welcoming place and very normal and down to earth people work there. We used to rent Lorna's cottage (harbour view) however have just heard she no longer owns it. We thought there was a big difference in the island (for the better for residents)and seems much more popular than the first time i visited. Keep up the good work - hope to visit again soon.
