Good News

There's good news for pig lovers at the beginning of the new year: this end of the peninsula boasts many fewer pigs in residence since the Friday before Christmas, when Dave Cash sent a sow and 28 piglets across to Mull. Sadly, he still has four left over here, busy making bacon. Many thanks to Dave who, with his wife Stella, runs Meall mo Chridhe.

Meanwhile, Hughie's horrible ten have been relocated into the heart of Kilchoan, into a field where an accident with a fence might mean the destruction of countless beautiful gardens on the Old Golf Course development. The Diary can't understand how Hughie sleeps peacefully at night.

Good news, too, from Portuairk, that village at the centre of the known universe, which bore the brunt of Wednesday's weather. Very little damage is reported, possibly because, if damage was there to be done, it happened during the 8th December blow. Many thanks to Donna Cameron for this picture taken during the height of the storm.

  1. Hughie sleep well as he's dreaming of the nice free range meat they produce.
