Did you stay in one of those houses in the picture - are they hotels or holiday homes or normal private houses ?

29 Oct, 2009

 

They were private houses and strangers were not welcome, it was a place called seil island We stayed at the Dalmally hotel in Dalmally luxury to die for.

Well, was about to say that Scotland is a bit more than a row of houses - LOL!!! Seil Island is one of a group of small islands known as the Slate Islands, near Oban. In recent times, was more well-known as the home of the late Frances Shand Kydd, mother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales. Know of (but never stayed at) the Dalmally Hotel! :-( lol!

Hi morgana You should go if you get the chance it's lovely.

I will never go as its not my fate I do believe in fate, as the sun will not visit the north and I am of a sun sign, if it was ment to be I would of gone when I was going out with my daughters dad which he never took me. My x husband he started to take us in the 70s, a bird hit the car, which caused a puncture, so we had to return home, I seen this as a warning but never said any thing. Later there was a crash on the motor way we would of been involved if we had carried on. I do study life and every one has warnings, its just that people don't take heed.

when i say we stayed at the castle ~ i mean in the grounds but you could go into their kitchen garden and for a small amount of money you could help yourself ~ courgettes, raspberries, etc etc ~ wonderful!!

ooo lovely i love raspberries. courgettes i'm not sure about.

27 Aug, 2011

I have tried steaming courgettes with little bits of ginger mixed in ~ works quite well.
