A report directly from the site of shooting this morning:

Hi Ted

Have just arrived in at the office and on the way I pass Achnahaird beach, which is one of the locations for the film, and there is a lot of activity there. Filming commences today and I have so much sympathy for all the men involved as there is not much to their costumes plus all have had to have their heads shaved! The weather here is awful - winds and heavy rain are forecast.

The site at Fox Point is looking good - a friend went on a walk to see it and I hope to make it out this weekend. The construction crew have had to endure the worst weather we have had for a long time! The old hydroponicum building, where our business originated, had been turned into the costume and props base. I haven't been in but our old offices are now dressing rooms and all available space has been utilised.

Last night we had a meeting of the Achiltibuie Tourist Assocation and as we were finishing someone suggested doing something for the crew as they have a day off on Sunday. In true westcoast style we have decided to organise a ceilidh dance and hope it will be a good night. I suggested it to the production team who instantly said yes! Will let you know how it goes.

Not sure where the "Stars" are staying but saw the "trailers" arrive -got stuck behind one on Sunday and another was delivered yesterday. My friend has the child star staying at her bed and breakfast - not sure of his name but he is Irish Gaelic.

There is a break in filming on Sunday and then the final day is Monday...

Best Wishes
