A few of our regulars on here will know the deceased. It was Miranda Brunner, the landlady for the past twenty years or more of the Tigh an Truish, a figure known to many West Coast yachties. It was very much the celebration of a life well lived.

I have taken a glass or two there myself about 20 years ago. It's the one you walk to from Pulldobrahian(sp?) isn't it?

I'd have another glass for her tonight, but my medication forbids it. :(

Sorry about the spelling, I can do Welsh, but the Garlic :umbrella: has me beat!

Very sorry to learn about Miranda.

She was a great lady, and a good friend to us when we first arrived. It was a wonderful ceremony. Her sister Juliet (who played the bus driver in Balamory) said to me as we were leaving the wake at the pub this afternoon that we must all keep the place going. I replied that my recent MOT indicated my liver was good for a few more years yet and I would do my best. Let's hope the place doesn't change too much - hope to see some of you there soon.

Oh dear, I'm very sorry to hear that. Agree with the sentiments re. celebration, but nevertheless... Over the last 12 months so many people I know have either died or been struck down with serious illness. Sorry, being a bit morose. :(

Eeek! I was talking about my posting record on here, not yours. Sorry. :)

Anyway, having got YBW up on its knees and running again, they've now introduced some kind of glitch that hurls you into cyber-limbo and keeps trying to restart loading something.

Quality! :D
