Canadians

Some of you will remember this cheerful couple from the days when they worked in the Ferry Stores and at Kilchoan House Hotel.

They are well, living and working in Edmonton, Canada, and, now, the proud owners of a small house and a large car. They asked to be remembered to all the lovely people in Kichoan who made them so welcome, and who were so kind to them when they finally made the decision that their future would be in Canada rather than here.

They have many happy memories of their time in this village, and there are, of course, moments when they wonder whether they might have done better to stay here and run the shop together.

Seeing them was one of the purposes of our recent journey. In the hope that I might make one of two of the Diary's readers jealous, this is the beach-side house in Jamaica where we stayed for ten days

The beach, of course, isn't a patch on Sanna, but it was a little warmer - 35C at midday - and it only rained, briefly, once.
