Stephen Lawson Photography, Bluehound Photography and Kevin McGlynn need have no fear.
Desperately trying to photograph this Tree Creeper at Sutherland’s Grove 🤷‍♀️ At least I didn’t swear 🙄
Check their pages out - incredible!

I think I’ve improved my ‘Tam O’Shanter Oyster’!!
As Jill from Kintaline House, suggested in my previous post, I added some whisky over the haggis topped oyster before grilling.
It is truly delicious!!
As a Perthshire lass, I had a bottle of Blair Atholl given to me at Christmas (thank you Ewen - I hope you forgive me for cooking with it 🫣) but I’m sure a drizzle of Oban would be delicious too 😉

Anti Lepik from Estonia has won the European Oyster Opening Championships for the fifth time! But what is truly incredible is that his son was in the final with him!! I wonder if that has ever happened before?

I took some oysters home for my haggis & oyster experiment.
I gently warmed up one slice of haggis in the oven, and another in a frying pan.
The first oyster has the fried haggis on top and I ate that one raw - good but not my favourite. The second oyster has the oven-warmed haggis on it. And the third one has the fried haggis with a drizzle of single cream on top. These two I put under the grill for a few minutes to warm through the oyster.
My favourite was the third oyster - I liked the crisped up texture of the haggis contrasting with the oyster meat.
Now the third oyster has pale gills - and I do not know why before anyone asks. Any guesses?

Was nervous for our roof lochside but it is still there - phew!
Fresh oysters out on the stand for all these haggis & oyster experiments. Look forward to hearing how you get on.
Otherwise, enjoy a quiet Robert Burns Day until a wee hoolie tonight 🪗🎶🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

All very quiet here after Storm Eowyn has passed through. I hope everyone managed with their Christmas candles - my camping gas stove was a god-send! And I hope there’s no damage to your property. My bird table cowped over but that’s all.
Picked up the Oban Times and there’s our oysters on the front page!! That was a great night at The Rockfield Centre - great effort from everyone involved.

I’m sure you are all cooried in and waiting for Storm Eowyn to pass.
There’ll be no oysters on the stand today but hopefully tomorrow will be a safer day to go out and about.
I’m thinking of trying an oyster with haggis recipe. What do you think?
Keep safe and cosy - my To-Do list is getting too long!! Might just stay in bed and drink tea 🤔

This weekend! If you can, and Storm Éowyn allows, get over to Trollhatten for the European Oyster Opening Championships!! Great shucking fun 🤩
