I.B.H.Q. - February 2006

Hello to all the Island Bloggers and everyone else from Island Blogging Headquarters in Glasgow.

As you can see the spring sun is reaching almost all the way down to the entrance of IBHQ bunker .

With the new season comes new hope and new beginnings. Allow me to introduce myself : I'm Graham, the new Mike of Island Blogging.

I've been getting my feet under the table over the last week or so but i'm here now, blogging and everything.

I hope I'll be able to help to keep Island Blogging running as smoothly as Mike and all the contributors have managed to date.

Feel free to get in touch with comments, or email islandblogging@bbc.co.uk with any questions you might have been storing up.

All the best,

Graham

I've been going through the Island Blogging inbox and found these pictures from Andy Sales in Orkney.

Some really nice pictures, I hope Andy will start blogging with us. How about some nice comments to convince him?

Hope everyone has had a good day. Hail like marbles and fork lightening have driven all at IBHQ deeper underground for most of the day.

We're enjoying the best weather of the year so far in the Glasgow area and it looks like spring is arriving on the islands too.

The Isles Pictures blog has some great pictures that prove my point.

Next week will be "best spring picture week" on IB. The winner will be honoured next Friday and receive a special prize, based on what's kicking round the office so get snapping.

p.s. Don't have a blog? Then email your island pics to islandblogging@bbc.co.uk

The Manse Cat's Wind Against Tide gets my vote for pic of the week. I've been extremely impressed with all the spring posts this week, sorry i've not posted more but we've had a busy old week.

Have a good weekend everyone.
