Apart from the pole which carries electric wires and the sign, 'Danger of Death' warning, nicely juxtaposed near the bird nest box, (but birds can't read), is a summer house.....This is to be my studio and where I shall write me book.
Grow seedlings.
Sit and sup me wine when its raining.
Play opera cds at full blast.
House overspill of guests.
Well, that's the plan.
We are now waiting for our purchasers' solicitors to do things.
Yesterday was our meeting of the Best Of Banffshire and Buchan Bed and Breakfasts.
We had a lady who gave a talk on the Banffshire Coast, an organisation promoting tourism on the Moray Coast.
They are now using images of dolphins to promote their area. Most days you see dolphins, porpoise, seals, the odd whale, off the coast, not just around Banff, but all the way down to Aberdeen.
Peterhead is called 'The Bloo Toon.' Blue being the colour of the whalers gansies (jumpers) who set sail from Peterhead in the past to catch and kill whales.
Nowadays we watch them.
And catch cod and prawns instead.
Our group once had a trip out from Macduff on a wee boat called 'The Puffin', and saw everything but a whale on that day.
At Macduff there is also the Marine Aquarium which I have visited on a number of occasions. Well worth a visit, no whales, dolphins, porpoises or seals, but damn near everything else.
Eyeball to eyeball in some tanks. Wow.
Well, once the lawyers get their act together we will be moving fractionally nearer the North Sea.
Although closer to The Broch, (Fraserburgh), than Peterhead.
And a different view through the window.
