New Year's Eve - 31 December 2011. From my mother's house up a lane from Inverarnie, I took the two terriers for a walk, strolling south along the edge of Strathnairn through fields that border the river Farnack, running full from yesterday's rain tho' not in spate. Level with the village of Farr I turned onto a forest path that continues just a few yards from the river. After a mile and half I turned north on a rough zigzag track up the side of the valley until I came to the higher of the two gravel forest paths wide enough for heavy logging vehicles. With a strong mild wind at my back I walked swiftly north for three miles until in the dark, with a crescent moon shining through watery clouds I came to Wester Lairgs farm, where I turned west and gently downhill. At the gate on my left to the lower forest track I turned south again, until I came to the esker by Inverarnie where I climbed a low gate, walked over the esker on a rough green path and was home in minutes. I towelled the dogs before treating myself to a cup of tea.

  • I think, Sir, that you are perhaps one who has the craft of making barrels - a rare cooper. Respect. And blessings for the new year and thanks for your kind message which I return in full to you and yours. S
