Sunday in balmaha

Wake up to a lovely day coin is in the garden and jean and I join him for tea and breakfast. We get our act together and opt for a stroll along the loch and then up the hil to the fort. Spectacuar views and a scorching heat. Delightful, then back down into the village and a planned well earned drink at the oak tree. We had planned lunch but it turns out colin had forgotten the bread and the girls are taken with the look of the chips. We enjoy a fine lunch then back to the house the grown ups retire for a siesta and then we awake to see colin has taken the girls to drymen. They have rented some dvd's and had a mooc and acquired bread. Meanwhile I decide on another walk and use coins visitor centre acquired walilkng map. I follow the wrong track and end up in an area similar to fangorn forest sans ents. I clamber my way back to the path and meet colin. We then get up once again to the fort and test my cardiovascular system to the max. Somewhre aong here my pedometer gives up the ghost. Back the flat and a bath and off to the oak tree.
Place is buzzing not a tabe free, so here is the bill of fare.
Hannah tomato soup, macaroni cheese.
Ally garlic mushrooms, scampi, ice cream ( amixture of peaches and cream and caramel mint ).
Jean chicken and parma ham with honey and mustard dressing, lamb casserole, clootie and custard.
Me prawn cocktail arctic char with lime butter saute potatoes, sticky toffee pud.
Colin - prawn cocktail, haggis neeps and tatties followed by clootie and custard.
Into the bar where we see agnes and colin opens the malt account with bruichladdich. I tactically refrain - wisdom at 43? Fed and watered we return home to the olympics and MOTD2.
