Sigh. Not another one.

Clearly you are not female or otherwise inclined then

Our host was pointing out the pheasants and chickens and explaining their free range habits (because I would like to own a chicken or two) and then suddenly, pheasant cough.

Not something you see every day.

You could understand what they said could you? Well done. Country Scottish sometimes can not be the easiest.

I work with a woman whose family is from the far north coast of Aberdeen and Inverness... I've been training for this for years

This is mornings B&B breakfast,








Urquhart Bay Bed and Breakfast – Luxury rooms overlooking Loch Ness

Looking around the two rooms finding little things. Lint roller in a draw, massage oil and led tea lights in another, puzzle book with pencils, colouring book! I see that this place is booked out months in advance, and for good reason.

Typical Scottish reserve - lots of “preserves” but no “preservatives” in the draws?

 

[Pushka]

I love a rich preserve on toast with good butter. Yum.

I mentioned it to husband and was going to look it up.

Currently on washing machine watch.... Ummm, I accidentally put a dishwasher tab in the washing machine so watching it carefully as it won't let me open and take it out!

Any hints on where as I can't find it on google.

I did see a lookout turnoff when we went to the Dornie co-o for cereal and milk.

And tonights plaid update.









Even the bathroom tiles are plaid.

Found some more around the cottage.






View from our cottage.

There's a pub in Dornie which is just across the road from the castle and if you go into the town you'll see a sign saying Carr Brae lookout - it's only a few minutes up the road and it's the first main turn in - there's no signs but you do get good views of the castle from up here.

 

[Denali]

Great. Thats the sign I saw yesterday and I said to hubby today we'll drive up and have a look. Thank you.

Today it's the first breakfast we've had to make ourselves so cornflakes, fruit and toast. Bread (spelt?) from local one woman bakery was amazing do going to her store today.

This mornings view from kitchen table.


And FYI on our accommodation
