demonstration.
A guide

Food and Health, is a joint initiative of Comhairle nan Eilean
Siar and the Western Isles Health Board. It was endorsed by the
Food Standards Agency and world-leading microbiologist, Prof. T.
Hugh Pennington.

Searching
recently through a desk drawer in the back office uncovered a couple
of long forgotten snaps. How we cringed! Take a look.

From
the land of Down Under
[July 03]

My
fiancee and myself arrived in London in February of this year
hoping to do some serious travelling of Scotland, Ireland and
Europe. Our first place of employement was in Inverary near
Glasgow, for three months, working in the George Hotel. The
thing we noticed most of all was how friendly everyone was and
how they tried to make you feel welcome straight away. After
a brief time in Ireland my fiancee received a job offer at the
Western Isles Hospital in Stornoway. As of yet we haven’t
travelled very much of the islands but are very keen to do so
in the coming couple of months.
I
gained employement at Charles Macleod's butchery when I came
in off the street to buy a leg of lamb. Through just a simple
conversation it came up that I was looking for employement
in the area for a short period of time and the next thing
I know I was working here. It comes back to the fact of just
how friendly the people are in Scotland.
In
the future I hope to return home and purchase a hotel of my
own. Where we settle down to do so, has not been decided as
of yet. It seems we are having too much fun overseas to worry
about that just now.

Nice one! [March 03]
Congrats to Iain Macleod for topping the poll in the local Stornoway
Trust elections. Iain, who has served for the last 20 years on the
elected board of the community owned estate, polled 1,325 votes.
He's also had a ten year long stint as chairman from November 1989
till December 31, 1999.
Well done, our civic-minded boss! He’s obviously a popular
guy on both sides of the counter. :)

New recruits [Dec 02]
Ria Macleod and Douglas Inglis have both returned
from their arduous university studies and have come straight to

both hard up?
