WELCOME TO SKYE !

Thanks for visiting our Blog about our new life on Skye. We wanted to keep our family and friends updated on how our big move was going and how the house build was coming along and thought this would be the easiest way.

We've also included a couple of useful links to local websites (information on the Glendale area, wildlife and places to stay) which can be found at the bottom of the Blog.

We're loving our new life here and hope you enjoy reading our Blog and taking a look at some of our photos. Click on the Flickr link to the right to see a slideshow of our build progress . . . . .

It's been a long time .....












Sorry for the long delay since our last post, it's been a very busy couple of months, well that's our excuse anyway! It's been a frustrating couple of months where we've encountered delays out of our control, but Simon is racing along again now. The first fix electrics are all done as is the plaster boarding. He's well on the way with the plastering now, with almost all of downstairs finished. Mark has been staying with us and he's been a great help to Simon doing all of the labouring etc. (and he's had to put up with a lot of p*** taking from Simon!). We've also had the groundworker back and have managed to get all of the drains pulled in and the landscaping has been done. It's all looking really good.

Holly has been busy socialising and I've been busy being a taxi service to her in between working! Myself and Holly went away for a week to stay near Edinburgh and left the boys to it. We had a lovely time and stayed in a gorgeous cottage with a bath and central heating - pure bliss! Unfortunately we came home to severe gales so we knew we were back in the caravan!
Anyway, enjoy the updated photos.
