Ceilidh house

Yesterday afternoon Flora had invited my to a lunch club organised by social services for the local over 65's
a grand new Health Centre building in the village was built a few years ago and local people fought hard to have a community aspect joined to that as well ( the Council didn't believe there would be a need or demand to qualify for this!!!). The Ceilidh ( gathering) house is fabulous. a huge big room decorated like a home with paintings by local artists, a real fire, arm chairs, a carpet, and best of all a real buzz from the folk attending. I expected a really sedate group...oh no, they laughed and joked and were scandalous. I spent 3 hours there and had the best meal ever cooked by local women employed to keep the local older people happy. I just wish there was a similar facility for my own Mum and Dad back at home. Buses and taxis took people there and home from Richonic, Durness, and other places. Kinlochbervie is like a hub and all the villages round about use the health centre and ceilidh house.
This week has just flown past.
Back in Glasgow Headway had a fundraising quiz night last night at the Griffin pub and I'm dying to hear how it went. I just hope their night was as good fun as my day out with the older population of locals
