It didn’t seem likely that a major company was producing something so accommodating to vegans and non-dairy drinkers. I googled to make sure it was true… and it was: Tetley for Soya I don’t usually drink [...]

if the mountain defeats us…

By Lucy | Published July 8, 2010

but it didn’t, so we did not have to brave the mines of Moria, 3 times up and down Bennachie accomplished and quite a bit of money raised for the trees :) My legs hurt today! These new signs help to avoid confusion, there are even paths at the bottom linking different carparks so you can [...]

sea, river, Balvenie, vikings

By Lucy | Published July 2, 2010

Had a wonderful afternoon with friends, sea swimming and boogie boarding – walking over dunes beforehand. Then another busy day yesterday at a home ed group viking re-enactment workshop (associated with the Dufftown Heritage Festival this weekend), also visiting Balvenie Castle and Banff Museum (which is exactly as I remember it as a child, slightly disturbing).  Saw some [...]

By Lucy | Published May 15, 2010

I have just planted over 300 little leeks, lots of kale and purple sprouting brocolli seedlings, carrots, radish, garlic, basil, sunflowers and flat leaf parsley as an alternative to the madly (but wonderfully) continually self seeding curly The thinking of the planting this year is to grow things that both do well up here and that [...]

of Russians and swans

By Lucy | Published April 8, 2010

Totally loving the gorgeous springness that is all around now Had some lovely wild garlic pesto yesterday and think may do same today.
