Welcome to our blog! This is a new venture for us – just to show we are not entirely living in a techie black hole.
One thing that will never change – our enjoyment of running our guesthouse and our endeavour to help our visitors to enjoy our beautiful islands as much as we do ourselves.
Scilly is not looking quite as you saw it back in the summer (even such a summer as we had at times this year). We, like you, have had enough rain for the islands to float to America, but fortunately our granite rocks have kept us securely anchored to the sea bed and have once again withstood the gale force winds - so we’ll be here waiting for you next year.
The Christmas lights will be going up this weekend and will brighten up the gloomy nights that we have been having lately. For such a small community, there are a lot of festive functions to attend, and they are made more enjoyable by the fact that everyone knows everyone, so we will be making the most of the opportunities to meet up with friends and neighbours and celebrating to the full – and we will probably be very full most of the time!
Hope you all have a very special Christmas and a wonderful New Year, with a happy and healthy 2010 to follow.
