Feasgar math a-rithist, a chàirdean! Tha mi toilichte a bhith còmhla ribh aon turas eile. Ciamar a tha sibh uile? A bheil sibh gu dòigheil? Tha mi an dòchas gu bheil! Tha mìos eile romhainn le fealla-dhà is spòrs gu leòr.
Anns an Dàmhair, bha sinn ann an Loch Abar. A-nis, tha sinn ann an Earra-Ghàidheal …. àite a tha loma-làn Ghàidhlig.
Hello again, my friends! I’m delighted to be back with you once again. How are you all? I hope you’re well. We’ve got another month ahead with plenty of fun and games.
In October, we were in Lochaber, my birth place … I was so delighted to have the chance to nip back to Glen Etive and catch up with a few old friends. I went to some great cèilidhs and heard some fabulous singing at the Mòd in Fort William. The dancing was great, too … and this month I continue on the dance floor, showing our travellers how to really put on a show! Have a look at the animation to see what I mean.
There are so many beautiful, historic and amazing places for our travellers to visit throughout November. The nights are drawing in since we waved goodbye to British Summer Time but the Highlands and Islands don’t hibernate …. even although some folk think we do! There’s lots to see and do!
Remember that this month’s lesson tells you how to ask for drinks, or say what you want when someone asks you. That will be very handy with party season just around the corner!
Mar sin leibh an-dràsta,
Dwelly

Dìreach aon mhìos eile againn Air Splaoid! Tha Bliadhna Chultarach na Gàidhealtachd a’ dol seachad ro luath. That’s right … just one more month left of Highland 2007 and our grand adventure. It has all gone past too quickly, as I was thoroughly enjoying myself.
So, too, were Melodaidh, Seanair, Munro, Morag and Brochan in between all the little challenges I set them along the way! I don’t think they seriously lost their tempers. Not too often anyway! Ho-ho-ho! There was that time when Brochan sat down at the foot of Cruachan Beann near Oban and would not budge when Seanair wanted to walk up it! I thought Seanair was going to explode! He went very red trying to pull Brochan upwards and all to no avail. At least he got to sample a few of Islay’s lovely malts when the crew went over to Bowmore for a trip.
Feumaidh mi falbh an-dràsta! I have a lot of things to organise for next month as my five friends finish up their Highland adventure. There will be a few surprises in store for them, I can assure you of that!
Chun an uair sin ma tha, tìoraidh an-dràsta!
Dwelly
