Scotland Tour: Wednesday 16th June

We spent the morning in Lossiemouth, meeting at Roger and Barrie's hosts for a quick meeting and a wonderful view from the balcony. We then wandered into the town to grab a spot of lunch - a few of us having the wonderful dish that is Cullen Skink.

Then after lunch we travelled over the bridges beyond Inverness to Logie Easter. There's only an Inn and a church in Logie Easter, and we were told it might be tricky to find. But when it came to it - there were two huge signposts showing us the way.

Logie Easter is a new venue for us, and we kind of invited ourselves. Sheila Hay ordered 30 vocal scores for a musical, and we spotted that she must have a choir, and so we gave her a call. Thankfully she was willing, and came to see us on her way home from London, and the rest is history! There were some concerns about being able to fit the dance on the performing area, but we ended up with the biggest space of all.

We were greeted with the most amazing buffet, and then we had a lovely rehearsal with Sheila's choir, the Kildary Kroakers - who didn't croak at all and were quite wonderful.
The evening was great fun, and we discovered that with the stage we were able to fit in quite a bit more drama than in other venues.
