Lucy’s Cycle Challenge – She Did It!
On Monday 18th June 2012, I (MM’s Lucy) embarked on a 1040 mile bike ride from Lands End in Cornwall to John O’Groats in Scotland.

Our mobile country home obviously caught the eye of the owner of the Philiphaugh Estate, Sir Michael Strang Steel, and he… Continue reading Spying on Salmon
Popping in to a Whisky Distillery
Much like the haggis making, we didn’t feel we could leave Scotland without having a quick trip to a whisky distillery. As we were still in East Lothian, we decided to pop into the Glenkinchie Distillery before heading into Edinburgh (not very rural we know) for the Scottish Countryside Alliance Christmas Drinks Party.
