Down by the River

I'm delighted to say His Lordship and I completed our culinary challenge of yesterday with determination and fortitude. Never have I eaten so much in such a short space of time, and all of it excellent and artistically presented.

Because we had left it too late to book a table in our hotel for dinner with his cousin and wife, there was no room at the inn to eat before 9pm , far too late for an early bedder like his Lordship.

A phone call was made and we were chauffered to Kinloch House near Blairgowrie in his cousin's Rolls Royce as their guests for dinner.

Unused as I am to such opulence in transport, I really should take a course in the etiquette of entering and exiting such a vehicle with some degree of aplomb, especially after a ' carry me out, but don't bend me' meal.
A huge thank you toThe two 'Ds' for a laughter filled evening and the wonderful food. You are both a tonic to have as company.

This morning the sun is shining and we will soon be off, leaving the sublime for the ridiculous. We've eaten breakfast even though hunger is a long forgotten memory and we've had a wander down by the river, so there is nothing for it but head to our next 'Awfully Big Adventure' in that campsite near Kiriemuir.
