Back at long last


Oh dear, it is so long since I did this I've forgotten how to! However, prompted by two very 'social media' savvy daughters, and a few of our guests, I've decided it is about time I did something about it.

First we have a new puppy, Juno, who is an absolute delight, very popular with the guests, whom she loves, mainly I think because she gets loads of cuddles from them.

We have had a week of bright dry autumn days and Trevor has spent them planting over 1000 bulbs, I am really looking forward to seeing them all on bloom in the spring.

Went for a Slow Food meal at the Willows in Perth last night, very good, we had venison as a main course. There are so many good restaurants in the area, we are spoilt for choice, we are very fortunate to live in an area with so many excellent local produce. Which reminds me, we are now part of the Perthshire Breakfast scheme. Fifty percent of our breakfast menu has to be grown or produced in Perthshire, which was easy for us to achieve, because we make so much ourselves. A particular favorite is my lemon curd, I wish we could get local grown lemons! However the eggs from our own chickens do help to make it something special.
