Sorry it's been a while! And sorry there isn't a photo to go along with this - I have TONS uploaded to my laptop, but haven't transferred any over to my flash drive. Photos WILL be coming soon, however, not to worry.
The weather here has been quite dreary, with the sun peaking out now and again. Chilly and rainy. A bit of a downer, actually. But then...but THEN the sun pops out for a moment or two, and everything is RIGHT again! It's amazing what a little sun can do!
This past Friday I was really thinking of home and picnics and SUNSHINE! The day here started out in its usual rainy, dreary way. But then....but THEN the sun came out, the sky turned blue and the entire staff went on a boat ride around the island! It lasted over an hour, and was absolutely glorious!!! Dinner that night was handled by Holly, one of our volunteers from the States. It was AWESOME. It really felt like a picnic, so much so that I overate. (which is what you do at picnics, isn't it???) Anyway, it was a grand night.
Today, FINALLY (after delays, and terribly troubling customs officers) my two wonderful friends arrived safely on Iona! We are VERY excited to finally be together, and looking forward to a madcap week of fun and frolicking amongst the sheep and cows!
That being said, there probably won't be another post here for a bit, as I'm taking 5 days off next week to spend with them ON THE ISLAND in a wee self-catering cottage called "Clachanach." But more posts will follow, I promise.
In the meantime, continue to enjoy your summer! Don't forget to write and keep me posted!
Sending loads of love...
