Shrooming!


We decided that today we would go to the other Glen to look for mushrooms, what a super day we had. The rain held off and for most of the day the sun shone! It is quite a long walk into the Glen uphill for quite a distance but the walk did us good, it is almost 3 years since I was here. This Glen is lovely, mountains on both sides and a lovely river, deep pools and rocks catch the sunlight as it meanders along. Lots of flora and deciduous trees where the shrooms grow. Got quite a lot of Chanterelles, these are deep yellow in colour and have a distinct smell of apricots, Graham also found an Orange Birch Bolete, looking forward to the meal tomorrow evening. Graham was also attempting to train Ruaridh to find the mushrooms, the wee fellow had a great time, new territory for him he loved it, and he was excellent around the sheep and cattle.
Arrived home had a quick late lunch, John H arrived to see about some work he is going to do for us. Started to make the cucumber relish, got 8lbs this time round. Spoke to Layla and mum on the telephone also Bella through the speaker think she wondered where I was! Did some paper work decided to have a fry up for dinner tasted fine.
Having a cup of tea then to bed, going to settle the account for the holiday home in Denmark tomorrow then on to Broadford and that lovely beach! Goodnight.
