Is it winter yet?
Oban has already had its Winter Festival – although a reprise is to take place this weekend on account of all the fireworks going off at once. This now famous ‘misfiring’ has apparently resulted in the town’s hotels being booked out for the company’s compensatory second go at the show. Sometimes a mistake genuinely acknowledged and rectified creates more goodwill than if it had never happened!
I’m now an occasional reader of the Oban Times, hence this intelligence. Work for the pisky Diocese of Argyll & the Isles takes me up there regularly. This week included a day trip to Mull. I was lucky to get back before the worst of the stormy weather. Have winter checked the car. Perhaps Advent preparation should include putting the shovel and blanket back in the boot for next week’s trip!
