HM Queen Elizabeth II – Queen of Scots

We are all still coming to terms with the recent passing of Her Majesty The Queen. Our family are deeply saddened by her death but also hugely proud of how Scotland has wrapped her in a tender embrace and will send her onward to London with the love, warmth and respect of a nation in mourning. Jim and I have been in the presence of the Royal Family on a couple of occasions over the years - most recently at the Royal Garden Party this summer at Holyrood...

This weekend sees the Lorn Show return to Benderloch after a two year absence. I had challenged my new son in law to a baking challenge but as time flies by I am...

History on our Doorstep at Kilbride

Historic Kilbride is just a short pleasant stroll across the fields next to the pub. Now that Covid restrictions have lifted this ancient kirkyard is happy to welcome visitors so do take a wander and explore the Church of Saint Bride the Virgin in Lorn. We are so lucky to have a monument of national importance, which has been a site of Christian worship since at least the 6th century, on our doorstep. It was one of Argyll’s important churches from the early middle ages to the...
