Yep it sure will names!! Im sure there will be the usual protesters and in 2 weeks time, all the fuss will have died down as it did years ago when Sunday planes and ferries were introduced. |

I see from the news that Tescos has won and the Stornaway branch will be open on Sunday. |

Our nearest Post Office (7 miles away) , in a corner of a supermarket, is safe for the time being, thank goodness. |

I saw yours was on the list Florence. Our Crown post office in the big town closed years ago and our little local post master was overheard saying he would have to give it up as it was costing him money. That would be a huge shame as we have no banks or building societies any more. He kindly took it on into his shop when the Village post office shut a few years ago. |

Linda, i'm a veggie and sometimes the ones who invite for a meal, well in the past shall we say, have the "i'm only cooking 1 meal, if you don't like, tough " attiitude. So one time fed up with going hungry, i went to the supermarket and bough loads of veggie food which my children preferred to pork chops. |

Well done for getting most of it done Florence. I assume that what remains is not obstructing anything for you so can easily be left there? |

Well we fairly shifted a huge amount of soil. When the guy said there was nearer 2 ton, I think i can believe that now. But we filled the raised bed and put soil in each bed in the tunnel but the mist and rain came and it got cold so we cleared up and came indoors. |

Don’t know if I am remembering this right but wasn’t a certain person very dismissive of her interest and knowledge, or was it just that he was dismissive of all of us. |

Yes I think she was. I had quite a correspondence with her on the subject of tides and how they affected ships. |

Ah the battle cogs. Wasn’t Sharon planning to write a book on them. |

I think she would be amazed that we are all still remembering and talking about her 3 years on. |

I wonder if she was aware how many of us followed her posts. |

I think we all miss Sharon. With costs and prices ever escalating we could do with her recipes for making a meal out of nothing. |
