Your bumblebee was more likely to be a she than a he at this time of year. What could be more ravishing than a big buff-bottomed bumblequeen, seeking a new home and a father for her baby buffbottoms.....
Flying Cat from buzzing around
you sound very serious crofterbill, interesting blog,see you soon
carol from the usual place
You can sign me up for a long stay, CB, although the tin shed puts me off a bit so perhaps there is some alternative? Otherwise it sounds just perfect. I can see that you realise how lucky you are! All the best.

Tell me when its safe to come out, I think the P & J lady has gone away but who knows. FC - lighten up - you have no idea what sex it was - it was male of course. Carol - there are 2 distinct sides to me. Jill - welcome aboard, you get first choice where your going to sit. The tin shed is a euphemism for a luxory 'pad' set in an idyllic setting against a backdrop of mountains and sea - does that sound better? You'll still enjoy the lamb stew. We still need a few more than just me and Jill, I notice FC and Carol arnt quick to join us Jill.

so crofterbill will have a fan club,after bluebell,me,squidgy now jill isoffering to come and see him-i bet he's making the other men in vatersay jealous
carol from in the usual place
That was a good euphemism and completely disguised what you really meant :-) Is there one of those infinity pools or do we just jump in the sea? BTW the lamb stew is off, I'm a vegetarian but will be glad to eat whatever veggies you have going. I hope FC will come, the lamb might appeal to him and so would the birds landing on the boat, although he might not be all that keen on the boat itself ... Let's hear it for isolation!
Jill from EK
give me instructions cb as best way to get to vatersay,anne a ibhq has my e-mail address
carol from with sore ,ankle,after crash
cb, go to see the latest grimsby blog-i found you someone who can read the tea leaves- i can read other things but not leaves
carol from the usual place
What's wrong with the Personal Computer Brigade? Do we need to be worried about them? And, lastly, if I own a PC, does that make me one? Very good blog.
Thewhitesettler from A Sheltered Spot
why are is tws in a sheltered spot-is he in hiding as hordes of women are fleeeing to lewis after seeing his body on the web
carol from with sore ankle,after crash
I quite like the idea of a Grimsby blog...
Flying Cat from smelling something fishy
TWS - Anyone with a personal computer should be treated with the utmost suspicion. Yes you should be worried. and yes. Jill dont start making my life too complicated, tatties with butter and do you do fish? cos if you do I have a fine kettle of them. Carol - I'm not one to pry but " sore ankle? crash?" were you rushing to get over here and had a slip? I presume you meant books and things as you dont do the tea leaves. I will check the Grimsby blog, sounds like a geographical feature doesnt it.
Crofterbill from from half way out the bunker
Tea leaf reading is called Tasseography by the way.
Crofterbill from half way out the bunker
I'm sure you have a fine kettle of fish (FC where are you?) but not for me, alas. Tatties with butter are yummy, perhaps a bit of seaweed on the side to chew on? Do we get free pampering products and fluffy towels or do we have to bring our own?
Jill from EK
sorrry to dissapoint you cb i wasn't in a rush to get to you bvut i was involved in a car crash on sunday read the barebraes blog, but waiting for your directions
carol from with sore ankle,after crash
bladderwrack and sandfire should be ok I think Jill, made into a loaf. Barebraes blog sounds obscene carol and in any case I cant find it. Hope your getting better. I see the initial rush for tranquility seems to have worn off.
crofterbill from just below the parapet
cb: don't worry you are not being let of the hook!! i'm try find out the cheapest way to get to vatersay.is it best to drive out of turnhouse then up to ullapool need some advice? its been so long since i was last in scotland(1994) bareraes blog is under shapinsey!!
carol from on the mend
If all these people are coming it won't be very tranquil, will it? Perhaps I can come in the off-season? I don't mind as long as the heating is on and I can sit and watch the sea through the window in peace (me, not the sea).
Jill from EK
An infinity pool is that near to Cornaig Bay I would have replied earlier but I was away buying fluffy towels and the like. I am the only pampering product required.
Crofterbill from almost out the bunker
crofter bill are you living out some strange fantasy??? time to get real I'm afraid as one day one of these wee lassies may turn up and believe me they'll be so disappointed to find out you don't exist. lets have some evidence.....?
shorty from tiree
cb- i love big fluffly towels and a certain kind of soap i've just tested from lewis!!(see no publicity-didn't give away names or brands)get stocked up
carol from getting ready for trip to cb's
ladies, carol, jill and others. some men have fantasies, innocent as they may be, some men live in a world of their own, some men live in a cyber world out of touch with humanity, the computer their only friend, they make stories up in their head and create make-believe happy ever after endings. go see crofter bill by all means, but why the rush for tranquility when the crowds arrive, are they met with a cheery welcome. No ladies, you will be met with...... well, nobody really. just beware, cyber talk is ALL THAT IT IS and there will be no story in any newspaper we can assure you. stories about make believe and one man's sad existence living in blogging land just doesnt have any warmth or human interest. its basically deceit and an inventive mind. Waste of time.
claudia from papparatziland
I'm sure you are all we need, CB, but perhaps you could add some beauty treatments to your list of attractions? You seem to have all the ingredients for a seaweed wrap, and I'm sure you can get some mud without too much difficulty. I don't suppose your infinity pool has underwater lighting, though... Is there a jacuzzi or do we have to wait for a rough day at sea?
Jill from EK
jill-a real rough day at sea beats a jacuzzi any day and its more hygenique!! see you soon in vatersay
carol from in thundery village
dear claudia, do you really think i take these blogs seriously?? where is your sense 莽f humour?
carol from the usual place
claudia, you phoned round tiree seeking out the elusive crofterbill and my bluebell, we told ye then that he was an old romeo. see the funny side lass, and come to tirree for a good story. don't know much bout cyber talk, we're more into cidertalk. my bluebell would love to end up in yer fancy ladies mags - write a piece bout her.
shorty from tiree
CB:- still waiting for timetables
carol from waiting for the thunderstorm
I think Claudia has nothing to do with newspapers, more with sour grapes, on more than one count. Samantha had to do with newspapers. Jill, the seaweed wrap is now on the agenda great idea and royalties will be in the post. Shorty good distraction - I like it. Carol soon very soon.
Crofterbill from now out the bunker
Dear claudia, the girls all know old crofter bill is a fake, the real characters are here on the isle of tiree. just join the sunday morning queue in the co-op and you will hear plenty of tales for your magazine. sorry i missed you when you rang, i did have a word with your photographer though, sorry your time was wasted. Expensive trip!!! Bluebell.

Merciful heevens! Are mjc and I singing from the same hymnsheet??
Flying Cat from trying to believe one impossible thing.....
what's hapening?this blog has went quiet all of a sudden!
carol from in rainy france
Yes carol I thought so too. One of the main protagonists has taken her ball home and thrown the toys out the pram of course. Once the "newspapers" saw I wasnt playing, a few other people stopped as well. It does make you wonder doesnt it. Still, I have mended the boat engine and done a few other jobs too. I shall do a new post soon.
Crofterbill from the Vatersay sunshine
oh dear i think cb has went back into hiding
carol from getting ready for tonights concert

carol from getting ready for trip to cb's

Hi Bill, A friend of mine is looking for a copy of ATall Dark Stranger, by Rose Brennan. I saw that you said it was one of the first records you ever owned, do you know if there is any way I could obtain a copy of it?it his favourite record and he would love to hear it again. Or is there a way of downloading it? Sincerely, Philip Moran
Philip Moran from London
Hi again Bill and everyone, still no luck with A Tall Dark Stranger, could anybody help. My email address is Moranlk@aol. com
Philip Moran from London
My fmale parental unit has seldom had any luck with tall dark strangers...such a shame....
Flying Cat from Cheshire Grin
That was a brilliant piece of verse at the beginning of you blog bill. Let's have more. All thebest Jon.
Jonathan. from Aberdeen
What's wrong with you Scottish twits? All the best, Jon.
Jonathan. from Aberdeen
Jon is wrong, not all Scotch, but you're all twits. Look at youselves.
pete from peterboro
Oh Pete: How droll, did I offend you? And by the way Scotch is a drink, not a nationality. Peterboro is the capital of the end of the world, go to London Rd and watch Posh. Awdabest, Jon.
