Various Shenanigans
Posted By Laura on July 30, 2007
Yesterday, we got back from a flying visit to Kyle of Lochalsh [undiscoveredscotland.co.uk]. This is where I am from. We drove the 400 miles for my dad’s birthday celebrations. He was 60 this year 
We went to the Kyle Hotel and had a gorgeous meal there. It was really yummy. We *all* cleared our plates. Not often that happens 
Whilst in Kyle, I took the opportunity to visit Broadford, where they have this absolutely *wonderful* independent yarn store. They spin and dye all their own yarn and it is absolutely delicious. Their handspun silk was just beautiful. However, at £13 per hank, and no project in mind, it was quite expensive 
But it is a resource I know for future. Even though it is over 400 miles away :/
Today also marks a special day in the prettyinpurple household. Two years ago today, David and I did this:
That’s right, we got married. Today marks our 2 year anniversary. I can’t believe it has been 2 years already since we did it – it has just flown by. And has been a wonderful 2 years. Here’s to many more
And, as 2 years is traditionally the cotton anniversary, my darling husband has bought me lots of Patons 100% Cotton! Yaaaaaaay 
Now I need to decide what to knit with it …
A VERY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Congratulations to you both and what a lovely part of Scotland to be visiting too -next time you go, let us know, and we’ll come with you! We’ve been there years ago, not the same hotel, but lovely just the same. Life is on a “go slow” there isn’t it? Just the way it should be!! Off now to look what my hubby can buy me for our 10th – gold, silver, no, that’s much later on…..
Happy Anniversary!
Hi Laura
My dad is from Dornie originally Ian Cameron of Dornie stores. Wonder if your mum and dad know him. My mum was Jean Gow from invergarry.
I used to spend a lot of holidays in sallachy as a child. Look forward to hearing from you.Dawn x
