Thursday 21st April

Excellent breakfast then off to Glasgow. Still the drab old city that I recall from the 1970’s.
Train to Oban through some truly magnificent scenery, especially along Loch Lomond and Loch Awe. Train divides at Crianlarich so fortunately we have selected the front carriages which go to Oban rather the rear end which goes up to Fort William.
Arrive at Oban to be greeted by Ian Wood, a friend from the 70’s, his daughter Karenna and her fiance Lee.
Ian gradually recovering from problems associated with a hip replacement but otherwise well and prepared for the wedding of Karenna and Lee on Colonsay.
Glenburnie Hotel a fine family hotel overlooking the bay.
Dinner at La Piazza ( an Italian restaurant for you linguists out there!) and meet up with a number of the other guests attending the wedding.
In bed by 11.00 ( definitely not a sign of things to come on Colonsay )
