Hello everyone!
Alena from Atéa here!
So, last night we had the last concert of the tour. The concert was so much fun and was also a great acoustics to play in – the sound just rang beautifully and we could just enjoy it. Thank you to the lovely audience of Isle of Arran for such a warm welcome!
Philip and Chris stayed at the Lucy’s and Ashley, Anna and I stayed at Jan’s.
Such beautiful view that Jan has from her house can really guarantee to set the day in a good mood! – you wake up from the sun shining through the window and see the sea with mountains!

After relaxed and healthy champion breakfast of porridge, coffee and fresh fruits, we quickly packed, said goodbye to Jan and set off to go to pick up Chris and Philip.
On the way to their host’s house, we could see fantastic view of Isle of Arran in the sun.
Then we’ve picked up boys, said goodbye to Lucy and drove to ferry.
We really have been so lucky with the weather during this leg of the tour!- it’s been sunny and bright the whole time! The ferry journey was so lovely!- so great to be able to go to the deck and enjoy beautiful scenery of Scotland! And there was a bird that was seeing us off from Isle of Arran!
And after that we’ve had coffee&teas and did some administrative emails.
When our ferry arrived into Ayr, we drove to Glasgow, gave back the car to the hire company and went on for lunch to the Handmade burgers to celebrate the end of tour. Yum yum
Then we went and did some little shopping to get some Scottish gifts and on to a train. Train journey as they are was rather long, but fun and lots of snacks – Atéa style. We (well, all other four, as I’m on lent) had invented a genius thing – making a hole in the Scottish snowballs and topping it up with whisky – they seemed to really enjoy that snack 
And now back in London (well, Anna stopped in Birmingham). I bet we all will be sleeping well tonight!

We are hugely grateful to the Tunnell Trust for this tour – it has been fantastic to play 8 concerts, meet local musicians and audience, discover different villages and cities of Scotland. During the tour, we have been to some places of real nature beauty – saw beautiful mountains, snow, fields, forests, lakes and seas. And it’s just been really great to do so many concerts in such a short term. It’s been a real marathon , but we did it. Thank you for such a great opportunit, Tunnell Trust and we hope to see you soon!
