I have written before about the Country Life Museum here in the village, it is covered by volunteers and this time of the year is one of their main fund raising times. As you have seen, apart from the normal clubs, table tennis, choir, ballet & indoor bowls, not a lot goes on for villagers. So the museum celebrates the Gaelic New Year according to the pre- Gregorian calendar. Which is Friday 12 January.
This always becomes a well attended night, it maybe minus 10C outside (as it is this morning) but be assured the people inside will be warm. Entertainment includes a ceilidh band, pipers, sword dancing & an open mic session.
Of course there will be a well stocked (and used) bar, plus food, comprising of one of my favourites, clootie dumpling & some delicious home made soup. All this for £10, you cannot beat that. All profits from the evening go to the Museum funds.
This will be my first post without any photographs on it, at the moment my camera seems to have a focusing fault, so it has had to go away to a Canon repair shop, lets hope it can be fixed, as I never go anywhere without it firmly glued to my side. I have my old, old camera that shall have to resurrect & see if it will be good enough for some future shots on here, getting a bit fussy about quality in my old age.
