Decided to purchase some new garms’ for the start of the cricket season and given the current English weather!

Just the most beautiful and tranquil place for lunch. Alongside the River Nethy deep in the heart of the Abernethy Forest

Sunny spells and snow showers in Abernethy forest today. Part of the ancient Caledonian forest

The mighty River Spey near Grantown-On-Spey and the Anagach woods, home to the scarce Capercaillie of which there is no chance of spotting with Macallan, our mad Springer, in tow

A cracking walk along the Glen and the River Avon (pronounced “Arn” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿). Apparently Queen Victoria stopped here for luncheon on one of her outings. And I bet it was something a little more elaborate than the cold sausage bap and hula-hoops that I had!

Dun Muir Corbett…decent view approaching the summit!

Up towards Dun Muir, a Corbett and the highest of the Ladder Hills at 2,500 ft

Highlight of today’s walk was my first sighting of a mountain hare close to the summit of Càrn Ealasaid

The high peaks and the Munros still pretty much require crampons and ice picks so what better than bagging the Corbett at Càrn Ealasaid. At 2,600 ft, in beautiful spring sunshine the ascent from Corgarff Castle and views from the summit are spectacular!

Atop of Càrn Daimh and across to Lochnagar and the Cairngorm range

Ben Rinnes in the distance, still with snow on the top. Looking from Càrn Daimh

Were you a bit shocked at the prices whilst out shopping today Clinton Baptiste ?

Finished! Probably a waste of time as I fully expect my Henry to continue to use the space in front as this as his “floordrobe”

Pretty chuffed with this!

Hellava sun-roof you’ve got coming through there Clinton Baptiste … how did you feel your interview with Piers go?

It fits at the first time of asking!

Chicken coated with Parmesan breadcrumbs in a garlic and tomato sauce

Haven’t bored you all with a foodie pic’ for a while but this creamy Tuscan 🇮🇹 shrimp and spinach penne with sun dried tomatoes was absolutely banging!

Ya ever paint a masterpiece upside down while singing the national anthem?
