A bit of a lie-in on another beautiful day, albeit one with a very cold wind blowing.
Drive Kiloran Bay carpark with Andrew and Jan McMorrine and Stromer ,Ian and Trina's lovely gentle labrador and set off to walk to Balnahard Beach on north of the island. Unfortunately Stromer, after a long walk the day before, decides to down tools after a while and 'persuades' us that we should stop at the northern end of Kiloran Bay.
Eventually, we meet up with Ian and Trina on the beach after they have been to the jetty to see off Malcolm Chapman ( Lee's Father ) who had had to return to Yorkshire for work reasons.
Wine and snacks on the beach after which we walk up to Cill-a-Rubh, the house where Lee and Karenna are staying. The views from the house are truly superb and the visit affords us the opportunity to see some of Andrew's remarkable drawings of local identities.
Return home to relax over more drinks before great chilli con carne meal cooked by Doug and Jan.
Off to Colonsay Hotel for a Quiz Night which had been totally slanted towards the younger generation ( Karenna using her position as the new bride! ). Our team of geriatrics comes last with only 11.5 out of 50, not really surprising as we have never heard of the most of the rock bands featuring in the questions.
Late drinks around the table back at Machrins where we endeavour to solve all of the immigration problems of the world over still more alcohol.
In bed by 2.00 am leaving Andrew and a decidedly sleepy Doug to stay up for another 11/2 hours.
