Well it's Sunday and the sun is shining - long may it last.
The island is gradually coming to life again - the snowdrops are out at the Post Office and some daffodils are through in some of the more sheltered gardens.
The council were over during the week and have been fixing the road along the shore.
The pub has reopened, although just very limited hours and last night the Argyll Hotel opened it's doors for the season starting off with an Indian theme night that was well attended.
The Hen night went well, many ladies of all ages were in attendance at the Mac. There were no strippers but the entertainment for the night was a giant trampoline. This provided hours of entertainment until there was a dramatic collision between 2 of the girls with a tooth making contact with a head. The result was lots of blood which was mopped up by lots of tipsy first aiders. At least the bride-to-be escaped injury.
The wedding guests start to arrive on Wednesday so fingers crossed they get some nice weather as many of them have never been to Iona before (or even Scotand!)

A great entry. Good to see the island has survived relatively unbattered and calm returning. Thanks for the pics.
Congratulations to Mark and Anja on forthcoming wedding - I hope the weather stays good and you put some pics of it here in due course.
Will be returning to Iona briefly in July but sadly as a tourist rather than a volunteer. All the best. Dave H
