Eileen and I trotted off to church this morning. St. Columbas Presbyterian - just like being back in Kirky - everyone we spoke to came from Scotland! In the afternoon we went to crop some rhubarb at a friends empty holiday cabin on the shores of North West Bay. Even though it was overcast it was a really interesting setting. There is an eagles nest that has been in use for years and one of the eagles was in residence. The big purple starfish looked really squishy but were quite firm to the touch and tasted just like lobster - only joking! Beside the road a couple of deer were resting and were completely unpreturbed as we passed quite close. All we need is some chipmunks and it would just be like a Disney movie!
In the evening Eileen's mum, Nell, came round for tea. She is a lovely lady who moved with her husband, Gerry, now sadly departed, from Belfast when they were in their 50's. We had a so called Scotch Mince Pie - aka Mince round which we bought at the "Tartan Pie" shop in the woods - it's a long story...................
