Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

The haar mist is drifting in from the North Sea today and I can just see across to the other side of Loch Ness. Even so - cruisers and yachts keep looming out of the mist in a rather eerie fashion. Not the day for outside jobs so worked with my sewing machine and finally finished recycling the curtain material that used to be in the bedrooms at Aspenwood. Made a rather smart cover and cushions for the settee in the conservatory which seemed to impress our 2 ' loch ness monsters' Maisie and Daisy who instantly claimed it as their own. Still - it was too murky to go out and play [they don't do murky!] but they didn't know what they were missing. Lately there has been a flurry of new chaffinch activity and a large number of them suddenly descended on the bird table and on the ground below in a feeding frenzy. Today they could enjoy their lunch in peace.
