CHRISTMAS CARD NO. 13

This year's Christmas card – Seol na Mara in the Faroes – drawn by Peter. This is the thirteenth year we have done this ... and Peter's thirteenth drawing.


Iain and Brian sailed Seol na Mara from Bowling to Ardrishaig in Loch Fyne the week before Christmas in order to get her into the Crinan Canal as it was to be shut for the holiday fortnight. We stayed aboard over the New Year, socializing and chilling out.

New Year's Day dinner for 8, all catered for by Maggie, provided a great boost to a seriously dreach day!

January 2nd was better - sunrise on the Ardrishaig basin. A very dilapitated puffer lies in the basin badly in need of some TLC. See a subsequent post.


A closer view of the lady ... taken some years ago. This is her 28th season and in that time there have been only one or two basic changes, including, for example, the red duster which has been replaced by the blue and white St Andrews flag.
