Tobermory Tales - July 2004

The new pontoons are down in Tobermory Bay. Here's a picture of the Dawn Treader, one of the cutest little boats you'll see. I think she's what they call a 'creel boat' but I'm not really up on these things:


On the way home from the shops Spike decided he couldn't wait any longer. Maybe he saw the sign for the Fire Station and decided it was time for a bit of hose practise?


And finally in this blog some real news: Tobermory Tales's days are numbered. We're shortly to complete upon the purchase of a house in Carradale on the Mull of Kintyre and so will soon be leaving Tobermory. More details soon.

Cheers

The day of the move finally came around and our furniture disappeared off-island on Thursday last in the back of a big lorry. We followed on Friday in the Landrovers with the kids and cats.

We're all very sad to leave Mull but are looking forward to a new start in Carradale down on Kintyre. This is our new house:


It used to be the village primary school but has since been converted into a spacious family home. It has suffered with neglect and needs a fair amount of money spending on it to bring it back to its best. No doubt we're going to be kept pretty busy.

We'd just like to say cheerio to our many friends in Tobermory and elsewhere on Mull, and if you're passing Carradale don't hesitate to drop in. We know some of you are already planning to visit.

Despite Kintyre being described as Scotland's 'Mainland Island' it doesn't really qualify to be in Island Blogging and so this will be the final entry for Tobermory Tales.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Cheers
Gary & Steph, et al...
