Great party, sad reason: Anja, Cassandra and Kostas celebrated their leaving. We had coffee and a lot of cake with the family and dinner at the beach afterwards. Thanks to our musical guests and volunteers we enjoyed a long evening of fiddle music, saxophone, singing, guitar playing and mini-buzuki. Two people from the island even brought an unstoppable country-playing enjoyable jukebox around.
The next two beautifully sunny mornings started quite early and woeful: We had to wave and sing "bye bye baby" to our dear friends. They left and left us tasty bread and chocolate cake, a cat with yellow paws, "happy families", a sad An Charraig-family and some pink socks.
Thanks to you for having made An Charraig to a fun and homelike place. We wish you the best and more for whatever is coming up next!

After few quiet days with only the three of us left Kiko arrived right in time to save us from having either cold showers or sauna temperatures in the kitchen, because we had to light the stove in order to get warm water. He helped us a lot and we are happy to have him here. - Hope you will have an enjoyable year in An Charraig!

End of May
The An Charraig family grew larger again. Rain, the skinny one-year-old daughter of Storm, had grown larger and more and more beautiful over the last week and now given birth to three hilarious kittens: Thunder, a girl, and her brothers Mist-Grappig and Hail. They are all healthy and Rain is the best argument for teenage mums.
