Blackrocksrock Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Great utube video - what about the tickling ones too!! I think Arran is a beautiful island and we were there some years ago when my hubby was with a squad doing work on the trees at the castle - the arbor association give their time free to some project and that was what they did that year = it brought loads of them together and I saw the island - it was fab. Enjoy your pringles and drinkies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Arran Chooks Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 My mum and dad work at the castle. They helped clearing the trees too - it was really awful!

OH is particularly unhappy as the pilot light has been blowing out all day and he had to have a cold bath this morning. I'm about to have one myself (a hot one I hope), wish me luck!

sparkysmum Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Vile weather here too, Princess Daisy almost got blown away today and now she won't even put her head out the door. Doesn't bother old Sparks though, hens are wet & bedraggled under the platform that the eglu sits on. And they call this summer Enjoy your wedding Vicki, hope the weather cheers up for you all.

feemcg Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Aw that's a shame V, I always feel sorry for people that book their wedding for the 'better' months then they get rain. I'm sure you'll have a lovely time anyway (where's the reception?....just being nosey!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirstine Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Re: weddings Ours was in early December (1995, not 2008), it showered a bit on the day, but snowed on honeymoon in Dorset! I always think that any event requiring half the participants to wear a formal suit (or more commonly up here a huge woollen kilt, and boy those things are warm) and the other half a pale-coloured light silky dress, is bound to end up with a weather/clothing mismatch.

Angus Arran Chooks Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 No, OH was the guy you saw getting winched up and down (Kenny) No drinks tonight girls, just tea and chocolate - hmmmmm Here's hoping the weather is better for the weekend nationwide!
