Loaf and Away

The last full day and by another piece of luck the Fish Man in his van stops for half an hour in Durness selling fresh fish and shellfish. I bought four langoustines, two small smoked haddock fillets, six eggs, a pack of butter, big spud and a disposable barbecue. Down to the beach for brunch.

    
I got the barbie strategically located on the rocks and cooked the langoustines. Oh my giddy aunt what a fresh, sea and lemon taste to them!!!

  
I followed it by coating some foil in butter, poaching the smokies in it and then mixing in the eggs. Smoked haddock foo yung. No seasoning needed. The taste of heaven on earth. Unbelievable. Spuds were good too.

  
Loafed the rest of the day, blogging in the clubhouse on site, unpacking and repacking the rucksack, showering and trying to air the smell of smoke from my clothes. But not until after I’d collected what driftwood there was and turning the barbie into a warming fire.

  
Early night and up at 6.30 to derig, get loaded up and get to the bus stop for the 8am to Lairg, to get the train to Inverness, to get the train to Edinburgh to get the train to Leeds. Less cold last night. Still cold but not nut piercingly bitter. The morning looked lovely. Luvleh!!!!

   
  
 Goodbye my old love. I haven’t got the sense to stay away. Get on the train, the train the train. Say goodbye to Madame George. Goodbye. Thanks.
