I know, it's a wee while since I scribbled, but been busy (ha! with my muscles?) organising (that means delegating lol) the new hobby craft room. In the meantime ...
This is already on my Facebook page, but well worth adding here too. A petition is available to sign at
http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/comhairle-nan-eilean-siar-save-the-barra-benbecula-air-service
which I've already done. Feel free to pass the link on. We need all the support we can get. Thank you kindly.
As the days fly by, as opposed to Barra flights NOT, I get increasingly
angrier over a ridiculous situation enforced on the Barra folk. I swear (yeah,
I do too lol) that despite being disabled, with my last ounce of energy I will
do everything I can to get those flights reinstated. Even if it means I can
only lift a pebble to either fling at the council or, more constructively, help
build a bridge at least from Eriskay to Barra. I keep getting memories of books
read and stories told of the St Kilda folk and the heart wrenching departure
they had to make from their beautiful island. It’s now a World Heritage Site.
Well, the same is NOT going to happen to the Isle of Barra. Got it?! Good. My
husband took film of a Benbecula-Barra flight and it’s worth watching its
beauty and unique landing on the tidal renewed beach (twice a day) runway at
Barra. Here’s the link:
Sit back and enjoy the journey, noting the
little ferry seen en route (weather permitting) is the very one people will
have to use to get to the nearest land on Eriskay with a causeway giving a
long, but alternative chance of an arduous onward drive to Benbecula, or even
further to Stornoway. Failing that, if
someone is in desperate need of hospital treatment and our oft inclement
weather permits, there’s always the air ambulance. The Health Board will love
footing that bill on a more frequent basis I’m sure, NOT. I wonder if there’s
someone out there who could trump the council into shame even more – the operative
word being trump. It would be a more entrepreneurial and philanthropic project
than, say, a golf course. Just a thought ... now I need that kick start coffee.
Enjoy the day all :) Susan

My Tarot Card
You are Strength
Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
