Tuesday 26th April

A bitterly cold morning but up at 6.30 am to see off many guests including Jimmy and Janet Primrose,Donald and Helen Warden, Rita ( Trina's mum ), her sister Ingrid and her husband Paul.
9.30 trip to the island  of Islay on 2 motor boats, with 12 on each. 45 pounds per head including the boat trip, bus on Islay and guided tour of the Bowmore Distillery.
Very rushed lunch and then back on boat by 2.15 for trip back to Colonsay on a by now glorious day.
Some info for trivia nights- our boat uses 60 to 80 litres of fuel per hour whilst the lifeboat that passes us uses an amazing 430 litres per hour.
Islay a lovely island but far more developed than Colonsay which is in comparison is a real haven of tranquility. Little wonder that Ian, Trina and their friends keep coming back for more.
Late afternoon spent relaxing in the garden at Machrins which seems very quiet with only 8 of us left.
