Co-op - here I come!
Posted: Friday, 31 August 2007 |
Today's challenge was going to Tobermory for the weekly shop. This is like the outing to the big city and you have to be fully prepared - suit of armour, steel toe capped boots and sharpened elbows! If anyone has been to the Co-op in Tob they will know how narrow the aisles are - no time to ponder "what shall I cook for tea tonught?" - you have to go for it and grab anything you can as you go up and down the aisles - when you get home you can play a game of what shall we have with the tinned rhubarb and baked beans??
anyway having survived the Co-op, sat in the harbour eating my lunch (Mull Cheddar of course) - I took some snaps along the way which I hope you will enjoy. My challenge for the weekend - to conquer ironing mountain which has erupted over the floor! Note to self - I must stop enjoying myself so much!
Tobermory harbour - how flat is that sea?"
"The Pier Tobermory" >
No guesses allowed - note the chip van wasn't open - the best fish and chips I've ever tasted!" >
"Love this view - looking up the Sound towards Tob - 5 mins after this picture it rained!" >

I wish my drive back from the weekly shop was as picturesque as that (though I do have a lovely view across the Dee Valley as I drive there, but it's not as good as the Sound of Mull by a long way.) Have you seen the video on youtube of the two girls dressed as bananas shopping in the Tob Co-op? It's by a Mull artist (small hint there) and it's hilarious.

AAHW NOW! Freckle, wait till the winter when the boats don't run and the real meaning of empty shelves will hit you!!!! I have a wee selection (as I guess most Mull residents have) of queries. The latest appertaining to supermarkets was "Where is Tesco's?" You can only pity the poor things! Can you imagine what the poor Co-op staff have to endure from these individuals who clearly have no comprehension of the entertainment to be had from concocting nutritional meals from the unlikeliest of ingredients? As they say, enjoy!!

I would just like to say that Isle of Mull cheddar is my most favourite cheese in the whole wide world ever. Mrs Trellis, good to see you embracing modern technology at last. Should we be expecting text messages to I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue?

Sorry - the banana video seems to have gone, I'll ask the maker and see if he will post it again. I'm a huge ISIHAC fan, and friends called me Mrs Trellis when I moved to North Wales. I have a very Scottish name, so it's a joke from numerous angles. I have never written a letter to Humph, though. Seonag, when I was on Mull in early January, I overheard a couple with a small child complaining that none of the Balamory actors were there to greet the children, and that there wasn't "a theme park or anything". It takes some effort to get to Tob, you'd think they'd check out what's there before they went?

A new life on the Isle of Mull for my husband and daughter - an attempt to escape the ratrace, live simply and enjoy the simple things in life on this tranquil island!
