Island Cafe Reminder Dear Cafe Chappies, It’s on! Again, some debate about the weather, but it looks generally good. If there is a small trickle of rain, we will shelter on the kindy deck. If there is much more than that, I shall cease to be a fan of Willy Weather, which seems to have been reasonably accurate so far. We have been promised two cakes, and some biscuits, so there should be plenty of sweet stuff, and hot chocolate, as well as coffee, a selection of teas, and chai. This week’s existential exercise is again for those of you struggling to bring up children in today’s ugly, untrustworthy world. The cafe is a familiar, friendly place, where the children know the people serving. Why not give your progeny a taste of independence, and let them come and order and pay for their own cake, or a homemade, child-sized, chocolate biscuit? You can be sure they will be sympathetically received. Of course, pirate money is not acceptable - it has to be cold hard cash. See you Sunday! The Cafe Crew Scotland Island $15 Fire Shed Dinner This coming Saturday, 26 June at 7.00pm  Starting with a Mexican Fiesta sure to delight!

A few of us islanders have raised our hand and pledged sobriety in July. Crazy you think. A lovely glass of red on a chilly winter evening… not for 31 days? Yep, we’re off the sauce for a cause. Find out more: DRY JULY (www.dryjuly.com). And we’re going further. We’re challenging YOU to join our Dry July team to help a most worthy cause. Think about it. Bet you know someone who is living (or has lived) with cancer. Dry July is all about making those lives just a little bit better. This cause is close to my heart. My husband Iain’s Mum died of cancer. I never got to meet her. My father-in-law was a survivor. I have friends who suffered, some didn’t make it, some did. One is waiting to find out. Plus, two friends of mine started Dry July and have worked unbelievably hard for it. Join our team “SIPPS” (aka Scotland Island Party Poopers, name courtesy of Tracy Smith).
