Hey folks, back on the planet once more, after a long long break from the blogging.

There is so much I could blog, but instead I'm going to start with the forthcoming weekend.

This weekend sees the return of many Liosachs. It happens usually twice a year, when we all come home, New Year and the last weekend in July. Sports & Raft Race Weekend.

So what's it all about. Well the weekend kicks off with a dance on Friday night, where we try and nobble folk from the "other end" of the island from where we stay. The North v The South.

Then on Saturday the day starts with the raft race round Sailean bay, then the sports races.

They are mainly individual events, but the day cumulates in the all important "Tug of War"

This is when the island divides. North against South. The kids start with their three pulls, then the ladies, and finally the men.

I'm a "Southerner" and will be roaring the kids and men on. Over the last few years, the Southern Kids and Ladies have been marvellous, though it has to be said, our Southern Men leave a lot to be desired.

However, perhaps this year, The South of the Island will be on good form....

Go the South!!!
