The Monthly Trip to the Pub
Posted: Monday, 01 March 2004 |
So Friday Night went well. Ellen stayed home to let Guy out for the night. Gill stayed in the pub and sent Davie home on the ferry, Caroline was home for a visit with her parents, and Kate and Judy joined us from Appin and we all had a noisy night in the Pier House. Not only that but Tom and Marie made the journey up from Edinburgh as well. Its amazing how far folk will travel for the monthly trip to the pub...
I managed to stay awake after my 6 hour drive up to the pub from North Berwick. I was worried at one point as North Berwick was white with snow when I left. But a phone call to the police at Crianlarich and Fort William left me knowing the roads on the West were clear (of snow not of slow moving traffic).
There were quite a few extra folk for the 9.30 late ferry, which was fine by us. We sent them on the first run, while we stayed in the pub and had another while waiting for Andy to come back over.
The lowpoint of the night however, belongs to Beth. Beth, Beth, Beth, what can we say except Tirlaggan Brae and your car will never be friends..... Yep, heading down Tirlaggan and guess who got a puncture! Wasn't too much of a problem though, we just left the car at the side of the road, and Caroline, Beth and I enjoyed the walk down to Achnacroish under the stars.
