Coorie in this autumn with tea and cake
Autumn is here with a vengeance now and it is beautiful. I even like the darker nights, drawing the curtains and getting to coorie in.
The darker nights don’t seem to have put the visitors off but I think the lovely colours and slightly wilder weather are an attraction in themselves.
There’s nothing like a windy walk through the woods or on the beach to make you feel really alive and then on to somewhere nice for tea and cake to warm up again.
And we’re not short of fabulous places serving all sorts of refreshments – it is hard to choose where to go sometimes. Oban is overflowing with places to eat and drink, from a full Scottish breakfast to a five-star dining experience and everything in between.
I really struggle trying to choose where to go and when a visitor asks for a recommendation then I tie myself in knots trying to explain that if they want anything from fish and chips sitting on the sea wall to a lovely restaurant, then they could just walk in anywhere and be delighted with what they get.
Tomorrow (Friday) is going to be a perfect example of tea and cake uniting people as the town joins together to host coffee mornings for the Macmillan Cancer Support World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.
Lots of businesses in the town take part in this every year and the effort they put in and support they receive from customers is amazing.
Our wee office on Stevenson Street is taking part this year again along with too many other businesses to list but if you see the purple and green bunting or posters then please do pop in and support them. It is a wonderful sociable thing to do, it helps a good cause, and you get tea and cake.
Last week’s photo was of the plaque on the wall of the Corran Halls, which should have been quite easy to identify, but I’m not sure how easy this week’s photo will be but good luck.
