Just over a week to go before the next Blàs book is launched. I wasn’t sure if I would have time to write a blog this week. Trying to fit...

I saw a photograph this week of fresh scallops and tatties. A lucky friend had acquired both locally. There was also a picture of plagues...

Okay, I know the tree didn’t grow like this but it doesn’t make it any less striking. I had seen this particular carving years ago. Only...
