Today is the day, I have waited 10 years for, the Pub to open, which is only 100yards from my house. When I was looking for land to build a house the only thing my DH asked for was to be near a pub, well I did that, only 100 yards away, we went once when we were building the house. The land lord then sold up and things went downhill very quickly, no locals were welcome only people on holiday, it eventually didn't open, a buy out was going to happen, lots of meetings and committees, but nothing happened.
Now today after much renovation and new owners it opens at 4 with the promise of how it used to be, live music, fiddles, squeeze boxes. The whole island is buzzing, We shall walk the 100 yards and I shall buy my DH a pint for his patience The photo is from 10years ago our foundations at sunset with the pub in the background
