Sunny

Anyone else looking forward to the winter? The island is mobbed, there are massive queue's in supermarket, I have to book to get on the ferry and my house has become a free holiday home for my entire family!!!! I've had visitors consecutively for the last three months. Last Saturday the last of visitors had gone home and I had a lovely night in on my own planned. Just me, a good book and chocolate, no people, no alcahol, just peace & quiet, perfect! Then the phone rang and like a fool I answered it. My brother had a bit of an emergency. He lives in England now and has a time share at Aberfoyle. He and his wife and youngest daughter and their friends and their two daughters had driven all the way up to Aberfoyle but Sandy had forgotten that every five years the week changes so they had arrived on the wrong week..... You can see where this is going..... So I got an hour and a half notice of seven visitors arriving for a week.

Luckily I had stripped all the beds so there was plenty of clean laundry but they drink like fish and they party every night! Don't get me wrong I love a good party but after an entire summer of it my liver really hates me now as it is! They have been here three days and I'm shattered! This is a good thing though. Apart from the fact that I get to see my niece for a week I am already appreciating my single life again. Watching the married people bicker and seeing how much work children are makes me very very happy not to be lumbered! It's lovely to see them all but roll on September, I'm looking forward to getting my life back!
