Saturday 28 October 2006--A hazy and lazy day. Sleep in late, and check in down at the 'Laddie shop to see who might be taking
the 10:30 tour. The two Aussies are there, as well as two Belgians I'd seen at Lagavulin. When they set off, I drive down
to Port Charlotte to see the Museum of Islay Life, which I've never gotten around to. Unfortunately, it's closed for
refurbishment. Next time.
So back to the shop, where I hang out for some time chatting with Mary, the Aussies, and the Belgians. One of the latter, made aware of the webcams scattered throughout the distillery, phones his wife so she can watch him fill a Valinch bottle. Unfortunately, the cams in the shop seem to be offline. I've never seen a man go to such lengths to try to allow his wife to watch him spend money on whisky. I fill a couple bottles myself, and finally depart in midafternoon. I drive down to Portnahaven, the long way around via Kilchiaran, and have a pint at An Tigh Seinnse, the little pub there. I see they have started posting foreign money on the wall, but do not have a US $2 bill. Naturally, I just happen to have one. I write a greeting from Mr Tattie Heid on it and give it to the bartender. I have a short nap back at Academy House, and spend a quiet evening in the Port Charlotte Hotel. I retire early, and get an extra hour's sleep as well, for the clocks are turned back tonight. Next |
