Familiarisation jaunt.

Today our Best of Banffshire and Buchan bed and breakfasts had one of our trips to familiarise ourselves with a visitor attraction so that we can talk knowledgeably about it and send off our guests to also visit.

We had an excellent guide and a tour round from barley from the fields through to the finished product, which some of us sampled at the end. All this cost the princely sum of £4 each, and £2 for the senior citizens. We welcomed on board our tour a lone ranger from Seattle who was still sampling the various tots as we left. I think he was considering going round again with what looked like two coach loads of Germans. I had talked him out of visiting London, telling him it was far, far better in Scotland. And if he really wanted a city to try Edinburgh.

We had started our jaunt with lunch at Lochter Activity Centre which we visited last year when we sampled the many delights on offer there. Fishing, playing with diggers, and wierd scooter things and lots more. The food in their restaurant is amazing, fresh, wholesome and reasonably priced to boot. And not far from the distillery.

So a good day.

We had Lucy and Sandy with us in the car. We were almost there before Lucy sorted her seat belt out, and then throttled me with mine to tell me it was s****. I love Lucy.
