Another summer season has started. Visitors have been arriving by the boat load and making the most of the open and deserted beaches. The weather seems unsure of the season at times, and keeps throwing various combinations at us in the hope of getting it right eventually. A favourite expression ‘all four seasons in a day’ has been overheard in all the places that people congregate. We have been busy in the gallery – lots of weather refugees – and the season has started in a very positive way.
The gallery has been painted, the floors have been oiled and there’s work on the walls. As usual, these preparations were all last minute and rather rushed – leaving us making firm resolutions to do better next year!!! We have met lots of first time visitors to the island who have been blown away by the natural beauty and the sense of peace.
The Shoreline exhibition opened in a flurry of activity – and has been popular with visitors. Sales have gone well. To see the work which artists donated click here.
Most folk expect that the poor exchange rate, the financial and emotional cost of flying and the cheaper ferry charges will lead to a busy season on Tiree. All the signs are positive – even the seaweed predicts that we are going to have glorious weather!!! We’ll see….
