Uig Community Shop has just opened a new extension; the picture shows the arrangements in August 1981, with Calum Ruadh at the manual pumps. Thanks to Carol Wallis (waiting by the car) for the photo.

Gaelic Wisdom

Taisg bonn, ‘s cosg bonn, ‘s bidh tu sona; taisg bonn, ‘s na cosg bonn, ‘s bidh tu dona.

Save a coin and spend a coin and you’ll be happy; save a coin and spend none, and you’ll be wretched.
