Winter is back this week for good. Had a wee look at Auld Kirk of Cullen, Robert the Bruce's second wife died in Cullen . It is recorded that her Interiores partes were buried there in the church.

Not a clue I will try and find out. Built a long time ago the tree on left has grown up and the door won't open. If it was built before the trees it could be a hide for looking at wildlife ?

I never liked the look of rollmop herring all my life . On a ship 4 years ago they were on the salad server every day two different kinds. 2 inch square half inch thick absolutely lovely had a piece on the side every night. They stocked up on food in Namibia before I joined very cheap there for food. I only acquired a taste for Salmon about 3 years ago . You wouldn't think I was a Fisherman for 15 years eh.

Rollmop wrapped around a pickle. Always a jar in the fridge. Wife says I can only eat those 6 hours before we go to bed.

“…taste for salmon 4 years ago”? …were you attacked by a lobster or something?

My wife would shiver when I tell her I would eat the eyes of most fish and most everything (except the shell) on a lobster. It’s a maritime’r thing.

I sometimes get a John Dory and bake it in oven as it is ,wife don't like it winking at her . My neighbour is the Skipper of Eternal Light a Fraserburgh registered boat. He fishes for Scallops so I get a bag of 50 from him and any by catch gets taken home. Lemon sole and Dover sole lovely stuff.

There is an old building about twenty metres away which was once a sawmill. The sawdust went in to that shack maybe through a chute or pipe . Then a trailer would reverse under it and sawdust emptied in to it and taken away. I've cycled through that woods for nearly 40 years and never noticed it through the trees it just caught my eye today. Every days a school day remember.

Wheels don't work to well where we are today (Seiser Alm) but by all accounts it's epic eMTB here in summer. Peter Fill (ex down ski racer) 2 years ago stocked Trek Rails but now all Haibike.
