Oh, we do love a happy ending at The Advertizer!

In January, Olly the cocker spaniel did a runner while out on his walk. He was last seen heading from Bridge of Weir towards the moorlands in the direction of Muirshiel. Despite a HUGE hunt, Olly wasn’t found. Three days followed, with some of the worst winter weather of the year. Then, a local farmer picked up a bedraggled pup and recognised him as Olly, thanks to the ongoing local facebook campaign. So Olly was reunited with his frantic owner resulting in big smiles all round!

Local TV stars! It was a joy to watch the Reith sisters who run Three Sisters Bake in Quarriers and now also in Killearn, when they appeared on This Morning last month to chat about working together, running their cafes and what makes them happy. Listening to Gillian, Nichola and Linsey together, you just know they love what they do! 

On the roads, ongoing repairs are underway at the bridge in Quarriers Village which will last for some weeks and further road surface repairs are planned for the A761 section between Bridge of Weir and Kilmacolm; let’s hope not at the same time!
