Sounds wonderful supernana. I have fond memories of Scotland - the east coast - holidays at Helmsdale and Brora - superb!

Perhaps we all ought to write something along the lines of supernana's chit-chat?

toothfairy lucid and twizzle ...would adopt you all in a trice...the more the merrier. Have noted that I've made two spelling errors...should have said "hear", not "here" and, the correct spelling of our Tarbert has an "r". It's Tarbert's regatta weekend and the sea is very lively! smile

lucid...we are on the Kintyre peninsula between Clachan [Tarbet] and Campbeltown. The view is towards the islands of Jura and Isla. Our day trips to Oban are most enjoyable. smile

Hi Supernana ....whereabouts on the west coast are you? I have friends on the Isle of Luing (south of Oban). Hoping to visit them in July. smile

supernana, how idyllic your homestead sounds.

As I was reading your post, Louis Armstrong singing 'What a Wonderful World' was playing on the radio, and I felt as if I was there with you.

...a little idle chit-chat coming up. We live on the remote west coast of Scotland - facing the sea, with an ancient forest at the rear of our garden. A family of deer come to the fence and have treats of chopped apple.The fawns are left resting under the bracken. A plump forest rabbit visits for vegetable matter and has introduced us to three youngsters. Three feral cats came calling in the winter. We left out scraps. Then my husband built a wee wooden chalet for them [to protect the food from the elements]. Friends got to hear of the feral cat clan and donated a black sack full of no-longer-required tip-top cat food. Each evening we here a miaow and the cats wait under the cherry tree for the dish to be taken to the chalet. We believe that feral cat, Tabs, could be pregnant. Maybe she'll bring her kittens to visit. These special creatures warm our hearts...

I'm just pleased to see someone happy to chit chat after 11p.m.
I'm an owl and have found that a lot of Gransnetters are larks so I never get a response! hmm

Isn't that what conversations do?

Has anyone else noticed that many of the threads are going off on a tangent, and have nothing to do with the OP?

Idle chit-chat could be about anything which doesn't really fit in anywhere - without having to create a new thread.
