@DeeWardRottal Good morning from the other end!

Good morning from the Angus Glens

@almurray Brilliant night - wife Su has dried out. She didn’t dare tell you it was PE and French she taught in case she was denied the wine!

Perth! Each and every one of you top notch

@SueHLawrence Well done Sue, that must have been a scorcher up there today!

Ministers Path from Glen Clova to Glen Prosen and back. Unexpected joy to find glorious sunshine in #Angus, having left misty damp Edinburgh first thing The 12 ml round route is what the minister did every Sunday to preach at each church. Not an easy route…Respect!

@Shot_fox Ours too.

You will have to take my #WoodBurners from my cold dead hands

@NickNairn As long as it comes with a set of DT Swiss ERC 1100’s 😁

@IainRSpink V4rs do;)

Fancy spending an hour hearing how to make cooking on Christmas Day a bit easier, then book on to my next elevensies with Nick. It’s on sat 2nd Dec at 1100 Nicks PoM. £10 includes cuppa n bicycle . Book online

@NickNairn My Chesapeake used to raid the veg patch, pulling the carrots straight out of the ground!

Blue update, peas reappeared during night , he’s now banned from pollytunnel, and feeling sorry for himself!

@RogerBlack3 @BeingScots @FifeFarmersMark Nobody’s taken over I’m afraid - no more smoke signals! #freshoffthebarrel no more!

@IainRSpink @BeingScots @FifeFarmersMark Hi Iain - enjoy your retirement, you've earned it! Has anyone taken over from you? Haven't been to the recent farmer's markets here in Fife but when we do go we always look out for the smoke signals hoping to get a hot smokie.

Cullen Skink, a thick Scottish soup made of smoked haddock, potatoes and onions. Hmmm... have you tried it?

@RogerBlack3 @BeingScots @FifeFarmersMark Glad to hear you have enjoyed using my produce for your recipe - alas, no longer, I am now retired!🙂

@BeingScots I often make Cullen Skink. Sometimes for a change, instead of smoked haddock I use the flesh from an Arbroath Smokie which has a stronger flavour. Since I usually buy these at a local @FifeFarmersMark, freshly smoked in the barrel by @IainRSpink, I call this version Cullen Spink!

@RogerBlack3 @BeingScots @FifeFarmersMark My late father Bob actually created a Cullen Spink recipe for a TV feature, putting his own spin on the original recipe - using smokies instead of cold smoked haddock.

@DeeWardRottal Ice almost across the Esk down at our end!

It’s so cold the burn has frozen 🥶

@DeeWardRottal The view from our end today!

Good morning from Glen Clova!

@DeeWardRottal Totally agree that we are lucky to live here. Great spot that - we sit on the deck😉

Lovely picnic today in the neighbouring glen with friends followed by beautiful short drive home. Grateful to live in Angus.

@DeeWardRottal Sorry to see this Dee - hope you are all safe.

Sadly this is bad …….

Another abnormal rain event here and more to come today. So far our flood defences are holding. We’ve had 3 floods and 3 extreme wind events in 12 months. (£275k in damage so far). When is this going to sink in? We need to act now @COP27P @RishiSunak

@DeeWardRottal Great clip Dee - we’ve got 3 regulars down this end.

Red kites in the sky today ( 7 in total). Glen Clova Angus Glens

@GolspieMill @gogolspie Wishing you all the best in your next chapter! Sorry to see another artisan business go.

Totally lovely, spontaneous evening in the mill on Friday night with some of the best folk around. 45 friends turned up at 24 hours notice to help us toast the mill building on our last night. Such a lot of warmth and support. Love this village @gogolspie !

@KennyFarq Carl Palmer has been playing small venues like Backstage for years. It’s a brilliant wee place with a great atmosphere, get yourself along.

Slightly disorientated by the news that Carl Palmer, drummer in Emerson Lake & Palmer and one of my childhood heroes, is playing two nights in a Kinross hotel bar next month.

@caldamac Beautiful unspoiled area; I’ve got a trip planned for there shortly as there’s 2 very remote Graham’s needing ticked off.

Ceann Loch Beoraid. Very quiet and very wet.

Great article featuring Arbroath Smokies! @TheGinBothy @IainRSpink #ArbroathSmokieTrail @Visit_Angus @appetite4angus @cliff_walk #Auchmithie @ArbroathMarket tastemagazinescotland.com/post/smoked-out
