Tobermory/Balamory













Tobermory is the capital of the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides and it is a very colourful town as you can see from the photos. The town is also the setting for the well known kid`s programme Balamory! It has a whiskey distillery which you can visit but we did not have enough time. There are nice restaurants, arts and craft shops, I bought some lovely stuff. Some interesting information is that legend has it that one of the Spanish Armada ships sunk carrying gold bullion in its sheltered bay. We did visit all over the island and more posts about the isle will come!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! I certainly had a busy one, Friday evening saw Alessio, his class, plus 12 others singing Christmas songs in a church in Zurich. It was lovely and we could see Alessio very well from his position.

On Saturday I saw some good friends Aimee, Janet and Claire that I had not seen for a while. It was great to catch up and chat. In the evening Janet and Claire came round for raclette with two other friends.

On Sunday Alessio and I went to see the movie Sing, it is very good and we both enjoyed it. Beforehand we had met some other friends before two of them did the New Year`s Run.
