I doubt anyone could deny that 2016 has thrown some real stinkers at the world. It has been quite a year. Sometimes we just need to step back, take a deep breath, and decide what we want to focus on. Do we want to constantly seek out the negative or do we want to try and find something, albeit […]

With all the dyeing for Knockando Mill done, I took this morning off and, being a lovely day, we headed for Stoer Beach.Although our house is in Clachtoll, it pretty much equidistant from both Clachtoll Beach and Stoer Beach, but the latter is usually pretty empty whereas the former is always busy […]
