    Inverary and Loch Fyne

    e were up at Inverary by Loch Fyne yesterday, the Duke of Argyll had a food and drink festival in his grounds but it wasn't up too much other than buying venison from Winston Churchill (thats his name believe me and there is a story there), the best venison dealer in Argyll.
    Here are some pics

    Jimmy, Thanks for these photos of some of my favourite places, but your making me a wee bit homesick

    Good photos Jimmy, I liked Inverary when I was there a few years ago. Unfortunately it was only a flying visit on my way down to Machrahanish before it closed.

    Now I'm really upset - I've got to get back soon, and our budget is going into our son's wedding and a trip with the clergy to Italy.
