Been Away in Not Much Internet Land

[Scunner]

And very nice it was too   

Seems quiet here without me, I'll soon sort that out   

For anyone interested, here are some photos of our visit to Argyll - a first for us and there's no chance of it being the last...




On the Way




The photo ABOVE  is Our Residence for the long weekend - brilliant.




All mod cons lochside




A chainsaw artist we stumbled upon, somewhere...




This is CBF, photos need to include a sunset




Proof it does stop raining in Argyllshire

 Looks  lovely and unspoilt Keith, a nice break for you all.

 It has been very quiet on here,has facebook robbed us of some regulars ? 

[KKOB]

I'm still regular.

One day the internet will be almost exclusively owned by Facebook, Tripadvisor and Google. Little specialist sites like this are all losing topics to Facebook and even through all that we still keep a healthy level of visits and page views - it is posts that we get fewer of these days. Posts generate posts and a lack of posts generates a lack of posts, I've said that before - that is the beginning middle and end of whether forums succeed.

So every time someone decides to post their news/event/question/review/joke on Facebook or Triopadvisor rather than a forum, Facebook become even bigger and get a firmer grip on you, and small niche sites on every subject under the sun one step closer to the decline setting in.

I don't much care - we've had 10 good years  

But thanks for asking

I should also mention that November has always been fairly slow...

How did you all manage to sleep in that phone box for a long weekend ??

   Thought the same thing myself Gordon!   

But I'd also noticed how quiet it is on here now.  Maybe, as Scunner says, November is always a quiet month.  I hope it's just that because I'm not on Facebook or Twitter and don't wish to be, I enjoy reading , and occasionally replying to, the posts on here and getting invaluable information and tips about Calis and it's surrounding area and wouldn't want to see it disappear.

...someone say something controversial - that always revs things up.  Should be a topic of it's own - Controversy.

Hubby did a lot of work in the Argyll area after we got married (before mobile days )  I wonder if that was one of the phone boxes he called me from?

Did you stop at Inverarnan Hotel after Crianlarach???

[Scunner]

It rings a bell Heather (the hotel not the telephone box) but didn't stop there.
