Where has all the good weather gone? Summer must be near! Although the kids are loving getting their wellies on and going out to splash in all the muddy puddles - oh to be a kid again at times!
Lifes been pretty quiet over the last few weeks. Kids have been chocked with the cold (again) so haven't really been able to do very much. We're all really excited though because we're getting a new kitchen table! The last one fell apart so eventually we found one we liked and that we could afford. So we sent for it last week and its on its way!! Wayhey!! Can't say enough how much we've all missed having a table to sit round and have our meals at together. And its always handy for sitting the kids at for drawing/painting/playdough, whatevers on the menu that day!
But thats about all the happenings here over the last while. Harris is Harris. Tourist season is well under way so back to road rage on single track roads :) Some people really need to realise what passing places are for.
One of the schools is having its last week this week as its closing due to lack of pupils. A wee school out on the Hushinish road - Sgoil Chliasmol. I think there were only going to be two there after the holidays. Its a lovely wee place but pretty much out of the way unless you have your own transport. Although I'm sure there would be regular buses, don't think I'd like to be all the way out there with no car. And its a horrible road. The further on it goes the worse it gets. You could easily get sea sick on it!!
Well just thought I'd pop in and say hello so thats about it I'm afraid...Does anyone know where King Gog of Gog has gone? He seems to have disappeared...

Good to hear from you, IL, and glad you're not suffering from sunburn :-) I think KGoG has been arrested by the IB police for impersonation and fraud, but I may be wrong!

Not sure where he is at the moment, though I can confirm that he hasn't been picked up by IBHQ.

Love hearing your news, Island Life. The road to Huisinis is mental right enough! The times I've driven past the wee school, I've always thought it looks fantastic with the flowers painted outside by the kids! Heard a while ago it was due for closure; sad but a reality in today's political/economic climate.

Methinks he is being "improved" by the duo from Bute.

Wot, still no Gog? I liked him, he was an eccentric. Gog and island Life would make a great couple.

I don't mind the Huisinis road and would rather live there without a car than in a big city, when I lived on Scalpay I used to go down to Huisinis a lot after I finished my home help work, shame about the school imagine those children will now have to travel the road twice a day mon-fri,

SO! Anybody out there? Any sign of intelligent life in Harris? Have Gog and Island Life eloped?
