The days are getting shorter and I eat my breakfast by candle-light now. Dinner too. Yesterday was promising to be one of the last days of summer and we set off to Oban to have lunch in the harbour. Full daylight! I bought seafood from the fishmonger, who kindly packed it in ice for the return journey. We drove home, using the quieter road hugging the south shore of Loch Tay, and were rewarded by this mellow, late afternoon landscape. Once back I cooked some of the langoustine tails (the Swedish way, I still have some dill outside) and put the rest of my purchases in the freezer. Then lit the candles. A 150-mile round-trip to buy fish is nagging my environmental conscience. It was so very good for mind and body though...Scottish Native Woods are working in the area this autumn.
