Mussels


Today as there was no wind or rain we set off to get mussels for our dinner. Decided not to go to the beach at the Glen, as they are very sandy, but went on a long trek round the corner from Sandaig where, Gavin Maxwell author of 'Ring of Bright Water used to live with his otters!
Treked through woodland which looked amazing, crossed the river which was in fuller flow than last time we ventured this way. Ruaridh was in his element, pastures new for him, after a rough passage we eventually arrived at the shore, managed to take quite a few photos as I ambled along the shore. Ruaridh didn't know where to go first all these new smells. Four sheep stood to attention as he dashed from one place to another, but he knows now not to go near them.
The mussels were quite small but we managed to find enough big ones to make a meal with. On the way home the wee fellow shot off as we all spied a deer, he returned to us after giving chase.
Arrived home the cups of tea tasted delicious.
