Monday 1st May

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month, as Mary would say if she was blogging. She'd then go on to tell you about Margaret reporting a corncrake calling at Kilchoman. Despite having nothing to work with in terms of sightings, she'd mix in a story about what she was up to on the farm, what she saw around Claddach, and what a great afternoon it was, and we'd all be happy. It would be knowledgeable but informal, and as close as we'll get to an authentic Islay voice in a world dominated by old English men with beards. 

Sadly Mary isn't blogging today.
