    Late last year Karen was invited via her company to a dinner in Glasgow in one of the big hotels.
    It was sponsored by Schwatzkopf & the charity night was for Breast Cancer.
    Varous 'superb' raffle prizes were up for auction including 'shockerooney' one night in the Royal Hotel, Ullapool.
    Karen's immediate boss bid for & won 'said' item & Karen told her afterwards that she had been in the hotel earlier that year for drinks & that friends of ours had stayed the night and were suitably impressed.

    Sadly early this year Karen's bosses husband passed away suddenly.

    This week 'the top boss/owner' announced that some of the raffle prizes that had been successfully bid for by the company were to be put up for grabs giving all employees a chance of winning in a free draw.

    Very kindly/sadly passed on by Karen's boss was the night in Ullapool.

    Everyone gathered in the office as the names were pulled out of the 'whatever' relating to each prize.

    Now I would hardly be writing all this for you guys to 'munch over' to guess who's name was pulled out for The Royal



    We are now in possession of the following laminated signed letter :

    "The bearer of this letter has successfully bid for a night at the Royal Hotel Ullapool in our four poster bedroom which is featured in our website. You will be entitled to dinner in our Italian Restaurant (including wine)"

    Obviously happy that Karen/we have won the prize but also sad under the circumstances that it should not have been enjoyed by ourselves

    I;d love to make this, but May is a busy month for us. Going to the lake district with the smart lot (well, I may not have one anymore, but I did arrange it) at the beginning of the month, and, for my 30th, my other half is taking me away somewhere. I don't know where or when either!

    Parking is going to be tight. I think we might have to think again about that wee stop at the Golf course at Durness with the beach view, I'm sure you could get 27 cars in

    Here don't tempt me I could come off the A66 at Brough and head north on the B6276 to Teesdale Then follow the B6277 east to Barnard Castle then back on the A66 to scotch Corner.
