I see that the Invershin Hotel will help you book other Bed & Breakfasts if they're full. We may just take them up on that. We'll have our 3 year old with us and maybe one of my wee sisters to do the driving.
Now... Is there anywhere that I can get a decent pint of heavy?

There is still space if people are prepared to share a room, Graham has mostly double rooms, and he is being asked for mostly single accommodation.
Couldn't Audrey and Llanfair and Monty share a room at the hotel, it would make it easier for Graham, and easier for getting to bed pissed :-)

Can I issue a general warning please?

Jack has just come out of Rehab. He's a changed puppy (well, he smells better for a start) and is a bit fragile. Can we all make a special effort not to entice him back into his former lifestyle. If anyone is caught offering him a drink or a cigarette, they get to take him home and so suffer the consequences.

DO NOT GET THE PUPPY DRUNK!

Liz, just for you

Here's to the fox
In his earth below the rocks!
And here's to the line that we follow,
And here's to the hound
With his nose upon the ground,
Though merrily we whoop and we hollow.

Then drink puppy drink,
And let every puppy drink
That is old enough to lap and to swallow;

For he'll grow into a hound,
So we'll pass the bottle 'round,
And merrily we'll whoop and we'll hollow. (Repeat refrain

Monty will be delighted to have a young'un to play with. I'm sure he'll be a good influence, having been brought up Chapel, as are all the born and bred around here.

There will need to be a short Welsh lesson for all gatherers, as, although he understands the English, his first language is Welsh.I wouldn't be surprised if he picked up a bit of Scots Gaelic during his visit.

It's only his lack of opposable thumbs that stops him driving.

I cannot guarantee that Mont will not show the pup how to roll in something unspeakable before coming in for a fuss. In fact it will be a certainty, because he has to have a bath before going a-travelling.

Best wishes to all of you. I wish I could be there.

The hotel web site makes my mouth water.

Well, except for my doubts about its name. Hotel Invershin? Is that actually the Hotel Inversion? You aren't about to be sucked into a time-warp or into a different space-time continuum are you? I mean, are ye?

Don't come back playing Guy Lombardo, now.

Inver is like aber, when used as a prefix it means 'mouth of' so Aberdeen is the mouth of the Dee, and Abertawe is the mouth of the Tawe, so by extrapolation, Invershin, is the moth of the Shin, and Inverness is the mouth of the Ness.
Ness itself is also a geographical word, and means a headland.
