NEWS FLASH!

NEWS FLASH!

Earlier today, a raft was located drifting off the North African coast. Its three weather-beaten occupants have been transferred to the Spanish fishing vessel, El Pescador Loco.

By 6 pm, Jean at the woolshop received a ship-to-shore call from Hamish the Bearded Clam Diver to confirm that the three survivors were indeed himself, Magnus and Besinia.

More news from Hamish soon…

Hola fae the sunny canary islands!


Man it's affay hot here and thae dinnae have any special brew - just yon sangria. Still, it's runny an' it get's ye drunk. El Braw!


Also - the clams here are dead funny - the locals call them "mountain oysters". No shell or nutthin. Magnus said they were the bollocks, i didnae think they were that great though.


I got Jean's message on El Telephone (that spanish, pure dead brilliant, eh?) and ah dinnae think that ah'd make a good bachelor seeing as ah've got an ex-wife, but if yer man want's any tips on gettin' a wumman ah'm the right one tae dae it! El Braw!


By the way, is the vet's job still going? Think I'll have to lie low for a bit in case the coast guard nip by.


El Braw, eh?

hello there Cyril my good friend, As you can read from Hamish's note, I think he's enjoying the climate. Jessie-Mary at North Ronaldsay is waiting for her thigh boots that she bought from eBay, so she's asking if you can just deliver the mail as quickly as you can. Her man, Sandy John, is starting to resist the handcuffs - so hurry.
