Things to do during the winter

Now that the " nights are drawing in" all the clubs , courses and things to do are starting up again to keep us busy during those long winter evenings.

Living on Bute, you could be kept busy every night with clubs etc. I went along to the AGM of the local amateur drama group last week. They performed "the Steamie" twice this year. I went to one of the nights and it was fab. The actors were great and the whole production went down well in the town. It certainly gave people plenty to talk about.
This/next years production will be "Stepping Out". That sounds really good. Auditions are in a couple of weeks and then its rehearsals once a week after that. They sound like a fun group of people so I might get involved. Only costs 拢1 a night. What a bargain.

There are loads of other things too. Dancing,(tap, ballroom, etc etc) Historical society, horticultural society, badminton, keep fit, aerobics, yoga. You name it, we`ve got a club.

As for courses, the local college has a great range of courses that can be done either open learning or taught classes. Very reasonable and with an Independant Learning Account you even get help with the fees.

Of course there is also the Rural, though I have to say (controversally) "put me in a home" if I ever say I`m ready for that.

Volunteering work can also keep you busy here. We look for volunteers for everything. Lots of good work and good fun to do.

Youth Groups seem to be a dying trend here on Bute. Years ago we everything, Boys Brigade, Girls Brigade, Guides, Scouts etc.

Nowadays I think there is Boys Brigade, Girls Brigade, Army cadets and a small group of Beavers (small scouts) But they are always looking for adult help.

I`ve mentioned before all the lovely walks and scenery and this stays with us even during the winter.

So

Advantages - Lots to do


Disadvantages - Cant think of one today.

Regards

Wilma


PS I`m going to be an Auntie soon and trying to think of names.
Todays names Aaron or Alicia ( as in AAAliSSSia)

Sounds as though there is plenty to keep you busy wilma. Are you working through the alphabet for baby names?

So true Wilma, on a lovely day like today it really is hard to think of any disadvantages in living here.

So true Wilma. On a lovely day like today it's very hard to think of any disadvantages in living here. Even on bad days there's a lot worse places to be than this.

Wow, sounds like you plenty of things to keep you busy--I admit I did wonder how you all survive the long winters. I will submit "Atticus" (from To Kill a Mockingbird) and wee himself's middle name.

thelovelyOutlander from how do you have time to blog?


what about "AILSA"

I cannot understand why you would be so rude about the Women's Rural which is an institution and not one that should be mocked. Unfortunately the many people that sneer and refuse to join in with the varied activities that are available are likely to be going into a home much more quickly than the rest of us. As for your choice in names, I suppose they could be worse I suppose, being named after an island not that bad but as for the other name, what happens if the poor child is affected by a terrible lisp, I wouldnt have thought Alicia very suitable.

for late and i it was as great task---findin names for our kids that was good in english as in french!!--not so easy names that seemed good when written down as abreviations --nightmare-first son was to be called "william" but as our last name startswith "c" it would have been WC otherwise public loo's" food for fhought for future parents,no?

carol (the french connection) from still here


I thought most women under 40 were either rude about or indifferent to the SWRI. Someone here was in it for 5 years, enjoyed it a lot and made friends who are still around 10 years later. But that needn't stop one 'having a fun' at their expense every now and then...
