Glasgow? Who’d have thought? One night you’re singing Black Holes and Revelations at the Bellahouston; the next you’re singing It’s a Rare Bog, a Rattlin’ Bog at The Park Bar…

Probably the wettest I have ever been outside of total immersion. Horizontal rain to finish our day trip to Herm, just off the coast of Guernsey, but a surprisingly good collection of island whiskies (and a few Speyside familiars) in the Mermaid Tavern to warm cockles and hearts.

Dandering around an orchard in Guernsey when I bumped into Elsa. She distills fermented apple juice into apple brandy at the Rocquette Cider farm in the beautiful Fauxquets Valley. She looks kinda familiar, don’t ya think? Great tour and tasting folks!

A fun morning around St. Peter Port in Guernsey snapping (and chatting with) some of the 24 teams here for the #Guernsey_2023 Island Games. Ahead of today’s Opening Ceremony the shopping event has seen some great performances!!😉

It was the biggest gig Norrie Tago MacIver has ever played, and it wasn’t the most gluten-free platter I’ve had to taste, but this afternoon’s Speyfest Prosecco Afternoon Tea was an absolute joy, despite the enthusiastic sound checks in the neighbouring tent!

After visiting Dunphail today I’m marking 90 Scottish distilleries visited in my odyssey so far. Whisky-making has created a sense place here and shaped the history, culture, and economy of this country. And what a marvellous obsession! Mòran taing dhuibh! youtu.be/ibKmUjkuKJw?si…

Really proud of both our UHI Moray apprentices taking part in the WorldSkills UK finals this week. Both are Scottish champions and Danny carried off the UK Gold Medal last night - in some sartorial style! Also great to catch up earlier with former colleagues at The Manchester College

When is a bargain not a bargain? When it’s on the TK Maxx reduced shelf. These sandals originally £40 reduced to £25 and then to £20. When I tried to buy them I was told the pricing was “human error” and if I wouldn’t pay £40 they’d be withdrawn from sale. Is this even legal?

I seem to have been re admitted to the X-files so here’s a golden oldie to celebrate. Will take me a while to remember how to actually use Twitter.

Great to catch up today Shelagh. Your observant followers will realise that despite my usual Speyside location I was holding a glass of apple juice today and just mid-timed my blink for the camera.

The nights are starting to draw in. Nearly four weeks after the longest day it’s midnight over the #Moray Firth and nearly dark now.
