Off to walk in the rain

Last night we went out for a seafood extravaganza in Portmahomack with Jon and Corinne to the Oystercatcher. Jon and I got wellied in to the "Port Platter" of crab, lobster, mussels, oysters and all other stuff. Mmm. The appetiser was an eyebrow raiser, though. See the picture and spot what we weren't sure about...



Yes, the syringe. It was full of a rhubarby-gingery juice which was very nice as we squirted it into our mouths...

So, Sandwood Bay today. Wish us luck against the forecast.

The horror of the Scottish barbecue...



So, Lorna's mummy pals have been asking for a while when she planned to host a barbecue. The date chosen was today, and didn't the rain just know it...

Thanks to the folk who showed up, and to the sun for an all too brief appearance. Now, where can we offload 6 tons of coleslaw and 200 sausages?
