As usual a BIG family Christmas and New Year on Holy Isle with lots of old friends and new faces. Profiteroles and alcohol-free champagne, Chenrezig and silence, dancing and laughter, knitting and mask making, walking and soaking up the winter sun.

On New Year’s Eve we each made a boat – and there never before was seen such an extravagant variety of boat designs – with symbols or words on them to express wishes and intentions for 2009. We floated the boats out to sea from the jetty one by one and they formed a long fleet of hopes and dreams, gently bobbing towards Arran.

Happy 2009 to all!
