Food from the garden
I generally hate posts with shots of people’s food…
But Ruth is back and the things she produces from the garden are wonderful. Here we have a double-yolk egg from one of the new hens and a salad of orange pepper, chillies and tasty green leaves all picked from the garden or tunnel today. Not bad for January!

Birches over the river
I was thankful for blip today as it encouraged me to go for a walk across the river. There are a lot of great photo opportunities over there. Must try to go before it gets dark next time!
You can just see our roundhouse nearly on the horizon.
Winter hibernation is nearly over – it was good to have a visit from Mike today and I’ll be collecting R&I from the Cork in a bit so the house will soon come back to life.

The road back home
Drove all the way back from Aberdeen to West Cork today. Just Fionnuala with me as R & I have gone to Shetland to see a new baby.
It’s a mighty long drive. We set off at 9am and got home at 11.30pm. I managed to sleep on the ferry which makes it doable.
This is near the beginning of the journey on the road between Banchory and Fettercairn. It’s a stunning route and is usually snowbound at this time of year.
I’ve just uploaded pictures from the last 10 days in Scotland to blipfoto. It’s been a nice break from the computer. Wet and grey here so expect some damp West Cork shots to follow

21st Century Ferry
We drove from West Cork to Aberdeen today. It’s a long journey!
The ferry from Belfast to Cairnryan is new and made us feel quite out of touch with the modern world. There were screens everywhere. You could play on iPads, watch movies or TV and also play computer games.
This is a shot of a mother and child playing one of the xbox 360 Kinect games.
