> Hi everyone
> It has been awhile since I have written anything. As you all my know my
wife and I just returned from 3weeks in England an Scotland. As it was we
where unable to include Islay in our visit.I never imagined how amazing the
trip would be. We spent 5days in London and then travel to
York,Edinbourgh,Inverness,Oban,Isle of Coll, Glasgow,Sheffield, London and
Home.
> It felt like a roller coast ride but we enjoyed every day of it. I see
plan are coming together nicely for the Islay gatherings wish I could attend
but used all the holiday for this year. It was like going through a door and
going back a hundred years getting off the Ferry on Coll.
> Well will wish all the best in the coming days will write again soon.
