Great new life and reopening!

It's been a hard few months since I had to leave Arran and make my way on the big bad mainland but it's not all bad. In fact some of it is great!

After all the horrors of the last year (see the archive on the right of this page) things are looking up! The Store is open again this weekend and I've been on my holidays and I've got even better news!!!

So back on Arran this weekend! Come visit me at the art store in Lamlash, 1st shop on your left coming from Brodick. I Art StoreThe Arran Art Storet'll be great to see everyone. I'm looking for staff and it's still up for sale but at least I can get it open again!!!

Himself whisked me off on a whole fortnight to Spain! Can you imagine, two whole weeks in September? I'd never do that for anyone else. Haven't been on hols for more than a few days since opening the shop! It was wonderful.. Apart from me going over on my ankle and spraining my elbow too on the first night... oops! So my ankle blew up like a zepplin and I couldn't bend my important arm!!!

This killed all the trips and fun stuff, just hangng round the pool once I could walk! I though this would drive him nuts and I'd be dumped by the end of the hols. As I got better we decided I could manage one trip so booked a trip on the ferry to Ibiza! The morning of the trip himself proposed!!! The last thing I expected! We are engaged to be married! Aaaaaah!!! Euphoria!

The ferry trip to Ibiza was an eye opener. It was a beautiful sunny morning, we set sail about 8am at the latest. We ordered breakfast and settled back to enjoy the views. A swankey Spaniard swept onboard in his cream Armani suit looking like a movie star! Oddly we weren't suitably impressed as he wouldn't get out of the way when himself was coming back with our breaky.

Before we were out of the harbour the staff were handing out sick bags!!! Honest! We hadn't even finished eating. Within minutes himself asked why that lady had her hand in the sick bag... then she explained by replacing the hand with a gallon of hewey! That was it, they were all set off. I stuck my fingers in my ears, shut my eyes and went off into a daydeam planning our wedding! Ahhh lovely. As the entire boat lost their breakfast. Himself had a poor woman collapse beside him and throw for 2 hours, apparently it smelt like excrement... As we were getting off the laddy that came on with the designer suit was being helped off by two wee girl staff, doubled over and green to the gills. How the hell did the Spaniards make it to South America?

So I'm off back to the island this weekend to open the shop, show a prospective buyer around and looking forward to seeing everone again. I better stick a couple of bottles of wine in the fridge!

If you're on the island do drop in for a wee glass!

I'm pure dancing with joy for you Sunny! All four feet in the air at once! M'Marmalade Chum would do the same but, due to circumferential problems, is unable to do more than grin widely.

Flying Cat from Sunny Delights


Great news Sunny, I'm glad things are looking up at last, who knows where this can lead. Get him himself on to building a croft ASAP

Steve Rudd from Huddersfield, sadly a long way from Arran


Good! Good?! GREAT !!! # All the very best, Sunny.

"I am sure Arran will be a happier place now with you there and your sunny smile." Squidgy. # Very nicely put, Squidgy.

mjc from NM, USA


Congratulations! Its lovely to hear good news and I wish you many many years of happiness together. PS I've ordered a new pair of wellies since folk are so rude about the poppy ones. Will blog an update when they arrive!

damadcoo from Unst


Oh You've moved me to tears! Thank you everyone! I'll pass your kind wishes on to himelf! By the was the 1st photo is a spot the Island Blogging Poster Competition! It's been a really busy weekend, a huge thank you to everyone who came in. It was lovely. I'm back to work on the mainland tomorrow but going to be opening the shop at weekends until it's sold. It's so good to be home, even if it's just for a few days.

Is it up on the wall straight ahead, between those two framed pictures?

Ruthodanort from Unst (and still mega-chuffed for you)

Is it the old one or the new one...it looks like the old one with the lobsterpots...I'd be SO excited if it was a new one, because I've never seen one here yet...

Flying Cat from upstairs at the library beside the noticeboard


Out with it, FC and Sunny. What is it? A close up, please

mjc from NM, USA


It's. the. islandblogging. poster.

Flying Cat from enunciating very clearly for foreigners


Thank you, FC, but what does it show? The old one depicts Stromness lobster pots? And the new one shows lobster in a pot (turning red, as per NiconColl)?

mjc from NM, USA


It mostly tells us how effing marvellous islandblogging is and how we must all join and the web address but absolutley nothing about spam, filtered or otherwise!

Flying Cat from Bil Posters will be prosecuted


It's the old one, haven't been sent a new one! If IBHQ wants to send new ones I'll stick em up all over the island!

Sunny from Back from doon sooth


Absolutley great news, congratulations to you both. Pleased to know the shop is to be open, it looked so forlorn when I was there in August, especially knowing that you wanted to be there and weren't. lots of love to you

Janette from Holmfirth


Just dropped into the shop for much needed supplies. It's such a relief to be able to get art supplies again! So glad things are turning round for you. All we need to do now is get you back to the island! The lad you've got running the place is very nice but he doesn't know his stuff the way you do.

Mary from Whiting Bay


Forgive me for being so horrendously behind, Sunny, but I am so pleased you're back in Arran. Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2008

Arnish Lighthouse from Stornoway


Hi Sunny, If your shop is still for sale, how much do you want for it?

Tor from Stavanger


Yes it is Tor! 拢25K including all the stock, fixtures and fittings if it's done this month. I can't run it and work on the mainland at the same time so I'n virtually giving it away. Call me on 01592 560 411 if you're interested

Sunny from Exile


Just moved to Brodick and wonder what has happened to the shop which is empty?? And the Knitting Club, does it still meet? What has happened?

Andromeda from Brodick


I don't suppose you could be bothered to let us know What Happened Next Sunny? Hoping for the best possible outcome, but...

Flying Cat from paws crossed


The friend who went over to Arran to run the shop for me couldn't find affordable accommodation either. So I've had to clear out and shut up shop. We've had a long hard discussion about our future. We can't afford to live on our own island. Scotland has outpriced itself. We've decided to start a new life in Spain where the cost of living is about a third of Scotland and the weather is glorious. Hasta Luego!

Sunny from Exile


ANYBODY WANT A LIFESTYLE CHANGE. THERE IS A SHOP AND POST OFFICE FOR SALE ON THE ISLE OF LUING.
