A late start meant a
nice lie-in from yesterday's travelling. However, as I wasn't driving; I was one of the first to arise; and
after breakfast had been established we decided to go for a stroll down the
lake. At the jetty was a hive of activity; where a Life Improvement Association
were preparing their annual fete. It turns out that this wasn't a self-help
group or even a cult; but to raise funds for the local environment preservation
society. People were setting up displays and gazebos; and we were promised
venison burgers straight from the BBQ; a display of birds of prey and old
ladies selling their bake-off wares. We headed back up the hill and discovered
s wonderful old bridge next to the road; and behind this was a waterfall
powering a hydro-electric station. But after climbing a hill for views of the
loch; by the time we had returned to rally the others the lemon drizzle cake
had disappeared right under my nose; and all trace of the barbecue (apart from
the smell) had vanished.
