2008
Apr 13th, 2008 by banchoryatlochinsh
Well 2008 has come round and we find ourselves preparing for Loch Insh once again.
It doesn’t seem like a year since we were enjoying beautiful sunny days and 80 degree heat. With the changeable nature of the recent weather who knows what we will be going up to this year. Best pack clothes, and change of clothes, for all weathers!
Using the blog
The idea behind the blog is to give access to all that’s happening on the Loch Insh trips in the weeks Banchory are resident. This was very successful last year and received lots of positive feedback. The children enjoyed sharing their news.
Now that it’s 2008 we thought we would try something slightly different and use it BEFORE the trip, as well as during… so here we go.
Before the trip
If you have any questions you might want answered before the trip you could:
1. Explore the Loch Insh website
2. Write your question in the ‘Leave a reply’ box below (This should be fairly straightforward) and we will try to get back to you as soon as we can with an answer.
During the trip
Please visit the blog on a daily basis to check out what’s been happening. Feel free to leave a message for your child and we will try to pick these up at breakfast time each morning. We are not going to guarantee a reply but we will make sure that any messages are passed on. Any messages that come into the blog are moderated (checked) before being published so please bear with us… It is a very busy week.
Or you can send us an email at banchoryatlochinsh@hotmail.co.uk
Blogmeister C
We are also very privileged to have Blogmeister C take over the management of the blog for the duration of the trip. Check out BMC’s page to see what is going on.
Ben H – clean your teeth
Blogmesiter C here… I’ll make sure that I pass on your message. I think it’s a great idea… for us all.

Hello Sarah,
How are you? Think Shaun is actually missing you – he has nobody to argue with. It’s pretty quiet here without you. Hope you are really enjoying yourself. Look forward to seeing you Friday with all your dirty washing!!!!
Lots of Love
Mum, Dad and Shaun xxxxx
Hi there,
Hope you are well and having a fab time.
Here’s how I imagine things are going:
Liam will be pleased at last night’s result, Daniel won’t be too pleased about the final 2 teams & Duncan won’t really care. Ross is probably creating a lot of noise & foam on the water & Charlie will be having fun but wanting some peace & quiet! Josh will be getting involved & Clare will be working hard. William & Frisco will be making a boat with a sail made out of a tie & Amy will be keeping everyone right. Megan will be finishing that book & Nuala will be reading the other one!
Take care, we miss you all,
Miss G
Hi william,
lovely to hear you on the phone yesterday and glad that you are having a fantastic time at loch insh.
I have been very busy at work and frisco’s father has been getting work experience in Stonehaven and Glasgow.
He says he’s not too keen on getting wet, wet, wet!!!, prefers the sun, sun, sun!!!
I got your Dr Who Comic today, promise not to read it before you come home tomorrow.
Hope that the Barbecue goes well tonight and also the disco.
missing you lots.
love,
Susan

Hi William,
Just a note to say I’ve just finished work at 8.30p.m. going home for tea…. I think I’ll make a William special sandwich.
Hope that you are taking lots of photos with the camera.
Love,
Susan

Hi Shannon, Hope your having fun and the hike went well! Looking forward to hearing what you’ll be getting up to tomorrow. It’s strange how quiet the house is without the constant Shannon chatter. We just about finished off your birthday cake tonight….left some for tomorrow night! I found the sun cream…we missed it.Hope it’s sunny and warm for you, but you’ll need to borrow someone’s sun cream. Love you lots, Mum, Stephen, Stephanie, Cian and Prince xxxxx
Hi Natasha,
Looks like you’re all having a great time – long may the good weather continue, though I’m sure you’d have a great time in pouring rain too!!
It’s very, very quiet here without your constant singing – we do miss it!
Have fun, take care
lots of love Mum, Dad, Charlie, Lucy and George xxxx

Hi Rosie
Loch Insh is looking good again this year, if it weren’t for all those children I’d be tempted to head up there myself…!
I heard that BBC’s Spring Watch is up near you filming for the programme, especially looking out for wild cats, capercaillie and pine martens. Think for the wildest animals all they have to do is head for Loch Insh?
Hope you’re all having a good time and not getting into too much trouble!
Love
Dad xxx
PS. The weather forecast looking a bit grim today but set to get better Thursday and Friday.

Hi Teenie,
Loved the photos of you at archery!
Enjoy the rest of your activities… and the disco tonight!! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,
Love Mumxxxx
hey there!
Loch Insh has given me loads of memories never to be forgotten! My favourites activities were wind surfing, cold, and sailing!
I enjoyed sailing although it wasnt the best weather! I felt it very relaxing, however the wind surfing was very hard to pick up!
I thought that the food wasn’t the best! the BBQ was better!!!!!
Thankou ever so much for taking us! and organising everything, I really enjoyed it! I wouuld go back if I could!
THATNKYOU!
