Is your lum reeking today B'man? I think a fire might be the order of the day for most people - even if it's just to dry some smalls!
Glad you're enjoying your Scottish history programmes Pat. As LP saysLoch Awe is 'awesome' . One of my favourite hills is there (Ben Cruachan) - at the famous power station. It's built inside the mountain
You made it and you're safe BL! Lorries have a rough time in that kind of weather. There were two HGVs overturned last week in Glencoe, on the open stretch of Rannoch moor. Fortunately at different parts of the road. That's a detour I wouldn't want to make!
Finally catching up with your doings on here - belated congrats to Wonks for passing her test, and to chicklet for her birthday. I missed the cake though
DD - have one on me. The proper, robust Scotch ones - not those wimpy skinny other ones...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Fairygirl. Thanks for the info about the region around that episode of Scottish Houses. I'm slowly getting my bearings.
Lizzie, glad the move has been done. Always a stressful experience. When we moved back here from Hubby's work stint in Melbourne, I asked the removalists if they could put a trailer behind their removal van and take my little Mazda 121 up for me since I hadn't driven long distances for many years. The young offsider who was with the van driver offered to drive my car up for me. so Hubby and I left in his 4wheel drive and they took the rest. It was a really good move. I've never regretted it. They were very professional. It makes such a difference to get good people.
I remember learning many, many years ago that the only things that were Scotch were whisky, salmon and mist. Clearly we can add pancakes to the list, and not far from where I live there's a pub (claiming to be the oldest in Lancashire) called the Scotch Piper.

It is fairy, think it's going to be tattie claw in front of the fire tonite. Nice drop scones by the way
He asked me for the value of the flat over our garage which we rent out.
I said " I have no idea, it's like me asking you to value your bedroom"
" yeah, fair point, I'll just put down " part of home" "
An hour and 17 minutes, I ask you!!!!!!!!
Even if I do qualify , I'll only get it for a matter of a couple of weeks before HOPEFULLY I'll be having surgery and going back to work.
We call them piklets ( sometimes drop scones).
