Phase I : Scotland

Get yer @rse into Gigha

Gigha (pronounced "gear") - a small Island off the Kintyre coast.

Coming up to Tich's 50th birthday, we had decided to go to one of the Islands for the night. A couple of weeks before, up at hospital, they asked her, "how would you like to go to Gigha?" "Oh yes" she says, thinking it was a staff outing or something."No, to work.." - apparently the community nurse there has broken her finger and needs a temp replacement. You take your husband with you, and there's a wee NHS house to stay in and a wee car there to use. Work is mainly handing out aspros to old ladies, but there's a lot of responsibility being the only health professional on the Island of 140 residents. So that turned out to be the Birthday Island, with Shelly and Pav coming over for the big day for dinner at "The Boathouse". Watch this Blog!
