preprandials!!

Our gorgeous dutch friends Ingvild and Trienette arrived today and helped us set up our new expresso coffee machine with disastrous and hilarious results!

We then had several shots ( not photographic but small glasses) of this amazingly delicious German alcoholic beverage............and the world appeared a more rounded and delightful place.

The coffee was rubbish! Am selling the machine on ebay!!!

Tomorrow we three are building a scaffolding for our chain saw carver to create a masterpiece from an old tree stump ........................watch this space!

oops just had a power cut! life in the Highlands of Scotland am yping in the dark...
