Ian –
The roads were closing all around us. No trains north or south. The burns were raging torrents; pictures of abandoned vehicles, threatened bridges and submerged acres were filling my Facebook feed. The rain had been coming down now for seven days.
January 2016; Aberdeenshire.
What to do?……open a bottle of Rob’s wine to accompany the French onion tart prepared by Jane using free range eggs and gluten free pastry. Add baby leaf salad with some pea shoots. Put another log on the wood burner and some Bill Evans on the hi-fi.
The L’Hurluberlu was delicious. It was fresh, tangy, with just a faint hint of fizz. Fruity and a touch of liquorice, it cut the eggs and onions. Low sulphites too.
Crisis, what crisis?
