The latest Rural Rambling to hit the web (university 'prof' character, brick wielding maniac and such like) if you didn't read it in the Ross-shire Journal last month can be found here: http://www.ruralgateway.org.uk/cgi-b in/item.cgi?id=2254&d=11&h=24&f=46
Spent a great evening in the Duthac Centre, Tain, today at a Celidh with fantastic music - in aid of Clic Sargant and MacMillan Nurses.
And yesterday I shared a vol-a-vent or two with an ex Minister and a few other high powered but extremely pleasant folk at a location near Glasgow. I discussed important matters of the day with phrases like: "pass the vol-a-vents please," "would you like another potato?", and "do you think we're getting pudding?". Perhaps I should stand for Parliament? The following link gives a clue as to where we were and why we were there - http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/sc otland/Hunters-elite-take-on-the.4049189.j p
The goat situation (see posting April 25th): all three are getting on just fine now, though there was much biffing and butting in the first few days. Indeed, the plastic cover that normally protects my garden machinery from the elements over-night had to be employed to make a temporary shelter for a few days as one of the goats was biffed and butted out of the goat house. All is now fine. Thank goodness for that.
