I hope you all have fun, I'm jealous! I'm being induced the next day, so make sure you all have a drink or five for me!

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

I spent a week in Arran but, as my son was only 2 at the time, I didn't really get to leave the swing park! I never even as much as got to go for a nice lunch.

I spent a weekend there last October. I don't remember there being a great deal to do in Brodick, but I am sure we will find something. There are buses to other places around the island, and they were surprisingly punctual! However, the other places had even less to do.

I am thinking pub.

Was there on holiday a couple of weeks ago.

There's not a lot to Brodick really, but it does have crazy golf if ye get stuck.

If ye bother with the £5 to get into Brodick Castle gardens, make sure ye take midge repellent, it's fu of the wee basts.

For lunch-time grub, the pier cafe in Lamlash is pretty good, and this place in Brodick is excellent, bar good too! http://thebrodickbar.co.uk/index.htm

The coastal walk up Brodick beach along through the golf course is good for a bit of noising up the gowfers.

I wonder if it is anything to do with Minxy's post above where she misspells celebrate as celibate.

EDIT: Oops I am an idiot - Minxy used the word celibate on purpose.

Sorry.
