Yummy pickle

Never found out who Sheila Bennett was but she makes a very fine pickle!

Not a great day. Raining really heavily and we got bored waiting for it to go off. Felt trapped in the house and we ended up dweeling on things and getting really sad.

When we went to take Alf for his afternoon walk we met some of our neighbours (we are staying in a little gated village off the main road which consists of about 6 houses) and they were so lovely and friendly and invited us in for a drink. Mr EG got taken out to have a look at Ken's boat in the loch and I got to have a go on Ella's harp. They said if we ever want to go back that way to get in touch and we can house sit for them and their three dogs. Made us feel a lot happier that strangers had been so kind and friendly and the day ended a lot better. We did see a pine marten today as well after putting food out every night for it. This one ran across the road in front of the car though.

Had a lovely 'last night' meal at the pub. Alfie had his first taste of venison (but only a bit as it was really too nice to share!).
