Oban

 

Aww the Columba hotel Oban. So many happy memories. Me n the scoobs have been coming to Oban for almost all of our relationship. We first came up and stayed at the chalets near the Barn restaurant probably 18 years ago 😳 Bud would have been with us then. 
Scoobs has a deep love affair with the island of Kerrera which is a sort ferry ride from Oban. Bud loved going round the island but not terribly keen on the ferry!
We have stayed in quite a few places, bnb - Colmar, Kerryvore etc but we do love the Columba, not uber fancy but decent in the middle of town and 30 seconds from what used to be our favourite restaurant- Eeusk. 
This vist we think will be our last staying in Oban. Eeusk was a major disappointment this time it's been on the slide for a few years now sadly. I did give constructive private feedback I hope they listen.
But we deeply love Oban and will be back especially for the seafood shack when it opens for the season. 
A major plus was that we talked about and then booked our next holiday! Lismore island in October. 
So excited!



Scoobs bought me quilt earrings 😊😊😊💕💕💕💕
The pics below were taken at the building which used to be the Seafood temple a great quirky wee place we used to eat at. It now seems to be a design studio office. Great views. I think it was originally a public toilet!




Awww Oban we will be back, it has changed but that's the nature of things, instead of hanging on longing for things to be the way they were let's move on and find new things 💕

Scoobs 50th

 So my Scoobs turned 50 😊 it was an adjustment for him. We all take getting older in our own ways. For me every day is a blessing, there was a time when I didn’t know if I would reach 50, but hey we all react in our own ways.

At first he didn’t want to do anything but then came round to the idea and we went to Oban for the weekend.

Gorgeous weekend, lovely bnb the weather was just fabulous 

We found these wonderful gardens , Ardmaddy gardens tucked away in the back of beyond, so beautiful and tranquil.























Of course being a birthday we had to have cake! So we got take away from the Oban hot chocolate shop, I had a fabulous white hot chocolate.


My Scoobs 😊 my world.
