The Bute Writers Group are about to publish an anthology, “All Roads Lead to Bute,” containing 14 stories by group members revealing how and why they came to Bute. The anthology will be launched at the Discovery Centre on Friday the 29th of February (that's leap year day!!). It has two themes—childhood memories and accounts of how and why we've all found ourselves on Bute. Members of the group will be present to discuss the stories and sign any copies purchased. More details can be found on the Bute Writers Group website.

Christmas Eve already! Happy Christmas to all our website visitors wherever you are, and all those on Bute for Christmas. Perhaps a special wish for those who are not on Bute for Christmas but would like to be.

When you've opened all your presents and eaten yourself sick, spare a thought for those who are lonely and if you have a neighbour who lives alone why not chap their door and wish them a Merry Christmas. You may be the only person they speak to today.
