Happy Christmas!

The Battison Clan will be be gathering for a family Christmas this year - the first for several years with zero restrictions! Whilst we all know that Covid has not gone away, for most people it is now part of the usual round of winter bugs, colds and flu, and long may that continue.

HM Queen Elizabeth II – Queen of Scots

This weekend sees the Lorn Show return to Benderloch after a two year absence. I had challenged my new son in law to a baking challenge but as time flies by I am...
