Wedding Anniversary Adventures Roundup 2026
Well the weather gods weren’t particularly kind to us this week, while England baked in 30+ degrees heat we dodged some showers and had to wear a cardi. However it didn’t prevent us from having a wonderful time each and every day and we have made some lovely memories. I think if we had had […]
Wedding Anniversary Adventures
The 9th of August is our 40th Wedding Anniversary, those years have gone by very fast, especially the last 20 spent at Fern Villa. We will be closing our doors on the 1st August for 11 days. We will be leaving the house most mornings and will become tourists doing things that have been on […]
Farewell Visit Scotland QA Awards
We, along with other Visit Scotland members, received an email this month requesting that we now remove any reference to the QA (Quality Assurance) awards. It’s a shame that they are no longer running the accreditation scheme and have closed their tourist information offices. Apparently visitors now prefer to organise everything on line and don’t […]
Gardening with Autumn is on its way
Gardening with Autumn on its way, as the rain stopped for a couple of days we managed to get out in the garden and do a bit of work. With all the bad weather the garden has turned into a bit of a jungle. We spent the first afternoon cutting back trees and bushes that […]
A Visit to Kilmartin
We closed for a couple of days so that we could have a day out for Catherine’s birthday. Kilmartin Glen has been on our bucket list for some time. Kilmartin is 30 miles south of Oban heading towards Lochgilphead. It is an area with one of the richest concentrations of pre-historic monuments and historical sites […]
Tea at Moss Glencoe
We went out for an early birthday meal to Moss Restaurant which has recently opened in Glencoe (formerly Glencoe Cafe and before that the Carnoch Restaurant). It was very busy so making a reservation is essential. If you intend on having 3 courses make sure you go with an empty belly as the portions are […]
The drone has made it out of the box!
David finally got the drone he got for Christmas out of the box. After watching a few YouTube videos he got it up in the air and took a few photos. At one point he took the drone up 63 metres. We now need a couple of free days where we can go out to […]
Wonderful Ballachulish
On 28th April 2024 we will have lived in Ballachulish for 18 years. I can’t quite believe that it has been that long and we can’t think about living anywhere else. The village has a fantastic community with folk willing to help out no matter what is asked of them. And fundraising events still shock […]
New addition to breakfast menu
We are always looking for new ideas for our breakfast menu and have been having a play around with different recipes using smoked haddock. After trialling a dish on one of our regular guests, which was thoroughly enjoyed we have decided on : Scrambled egg with smoked haddock stirred through, add to that a few […]
