losing faith

Well, after the drama of Tuesday with the main road from Bridge of Weir to Kilmacolm blocked with a small lake, complete with floating cars for decoration, we return to some normality? I'm afraid not.
Daughter goes off to school on Tuesday on the bus only to call me saying there's a major hold-up, can I call the school? Gets there not too late, but as the day progresses, we realise that the buses will not be running to bring her home. The bus company reckons the road is impassable, so us in cars just have to get on with it!
So we get her home, safe and well.
Day off on Wednesday because of strikes, so on Thursday morning we're all up and ready to go again.
After waiting for "ages", the bus duly arrives. Some rather sad faces as I'm sure they thought they were on for another day off!! Bus only gets as far as the Quarriers road and promptly breaks down!!!! Can it get any worse!!!
Well, still waiting to hear if she's made it to school - told her just to enjoy the fact she's not in lessons but that didn't go down well. I think we're in for 'Bad Mood Bear' when she gets home..... and a fight to get her to go for the bus tomorrow!!!

December issue

All hands to the pumps this week - got a bumper December issue to get together. And what am I doing on Blogger then!!!???

new item listing

I've just found out how to list news items from a Yahoo Pipes feed! Yay! Only problem is it is picking up a Craft Fair from September and I don't know how to cancel this item. Please disregard the first item on our news feed (RH of this blog).

WE'RE IN!!!

We're now in the new offices in Bridge of Weir - been meeting lots of lovely people and looking forward to being in the heart of the Gryffe community.

Moving to Bridge of Weir

Well, I thought by now we would be well established in our new offices in Bridge of Weir. Unfortunately, a wee (actually rather massive!) hiccup with telephone lines and broadband leaves us working in Kilmacolm for now. Hopefully we'll be in by next week - can't wait to meet everyone in Bridge of Weir! For anyone trying to contact us, apologies! Phone calls might be delayed as we are re-directing the line at the moment.You can email us though on info@advertizer.co.uk and you will get a reply as soon as we can. Watch this space.........

what's new at Campbell's Corner?

The villagers of Bridge of Weir seem to be intrigued by the goings-on at Campbell's shop. There have been lots of people just dropping in to chat, and plenty more having a good look in the windows - gives them a bit of a turn when we wave back!
