A Day in the Life of Eriska

Back in September we set in place plans to rebuild our driving range on the golf course. In effect we had only cut the grass initially in front of the range with the intention of collecting any used balls by hand but over the years it has become much more popular and our patience at collecting balls has only been helped by my mothers dogs willingness to do the hard work for us under the pretence of gundog training. Anyway to cut a long story short we agreed in september to do the work when the frost came and the ground was hard enough to run machines on without damage, and today we have had tos helve the plan as as yet no work has been carried out as no frost has been seen on Eriska since last February. i say this cautiously as this decison to start the work without frost and with flotation tyres will probably mean we are going to head for a cold spell but what is ahead for the next week in terms of weather?

Today: After a dry and sunny start it will begin to cloud over with heavy rain overnight

Monday: A few wintry showers on higher hills with heavy rain into the morning washing away any snow.

Tuesday: Dull and wet with heavy bursts of rain, especially over higher ground followed by strong to gale force southwesterly winds.

Wednesday: Dull with mist, hill fog and rain, occasionally heavy but certainly an improvement form yesterday.
 
Thursday: Mostly cloudy with periods of rain,  some brief brighter spells. Windy and very mild, coastal gales.

Friday: A gradual transition from the initially very mild, but largely cloudy conditions with outbreaks of rain, to a brighter but colder regime with a chance of showers

Saturday: Dry bright and a bit cooler than earlier in the week

I can vouch for the beautiful weather last weekend ... we were there on this fantastic isle, peace and tranquilty with fabulous food, wine and company.
Re: Wood pellet over consumption
It's never ideal to run out when you need them but it's great to see you using them.

I hope the repairs are holding well!
Re: 39th Year at Eriska kicks off
We will look forward to seeing you in 2012 and hopefully it will be a good boating year!
Re: 39th Year at Eriska kicks off
Glad to hear that "stealth mode" has been replaced by personal communication and would like to take this opportunity of wishing all at "Eriska" a happy and prosperous 2012. Should the weather be even relatively
kind in the spring and/or summer we hope to visit via your mooring buoys and pontoons.
Re: Busy End to 2011
Hi, happy new year to you and your team; we have entered the new year with a Labrador puppy and have named him Eriska chosen because our last lab. Marmite, found the hotel, the island,the welcome from his Lab friends- not least the biscuits, to be heaven; rolling on fish eggs, swimming amongst the rocks and knowing we had to walk all the way round the Island to get back- no short cuts allowed. So,after he died quite young from cancer we know he would want the puppy that followed him to know about Eriska. So no doubt he joins others with the same name. I am sure we will be coming to introduce him to the Eriska experience some time soon. regards David and Steph.
Re: Christmas now in full swing
Merry Christmas- we all raised a glass to toast your Birthday and your absence. I trust the weather is slightly better but with roaring log fires and a full bar we are struggling to survive¬!
Re: Christmas now in full swing
It seems strange reading this and not being with you this year, but I guess spending Christmas Day on the beach somewhat makes up for it. Happy Christmas from our new home on the other side of the world in New Zealand.
Re: Wonders of everchanging Seasons
One of the wonders is the unpredictability, we dress for the sunshine and it rains, we prepare for the cold and it is mild but that is Scotland and in many ways thats what makes it so special. Have a safe journey and we are all looking forqrad to seeing you and the Christmas Festivities
Re: Forward Carpet Planning
Put them back at Mums. She could use them in here spare rooms!
Re: Relais Chateaux membership begins!
We are delighted to be working alongside so many well known names in the British hotel Industry and the fact that we are all individual and allowed to excel in different areas is one of the attractions of Relais & Chateaux . We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship but above all we look forward to welcoming Mr and Mrs Heath back to Eriska for their 20th Visit at Christmas.
