The thatching is soo nearly there....

As promised, here is the 'during' photo. The reed is all grown and bales in Scotland. We collected it from the RSPB near Kinross and there is plenty available. If anyone else is looking for material for thatching or a project, then please get in touch with the RSPB or myself as it's a material we all want to make sure is continued to be produced in Scotland.

Officers in Aviemore are appealing for a witness who was traveling as a passenger on the 12:50 FlixBus service from Inverness to Glasgow on 6th October. The passenger filmed the manner of driving of a lorry on the A9. The lorry later crashed near Newtonmore.

🚌 Where you on that bus or travelling on the A9 on that day?

🎥 Are you the person who filmed the lorry?

We will be sharing the story of our 'sitooterie' as it underwent some TLC during the beginning of the autumn. This is a great space no matter the weather to sit and have a drink, snack or a meal or simply to read a book. However, the roof was in need of repair so after an extensive search, we found some Scottish thatchers that could help.

This is the before picture and we will share the during and after photos too.

As mentioned at the beginning of the year, throughout this year we are going to share each month a photo from a calendar which has been put together by and supported by the Rotary of Aboyne and Upper Deeside. Torin is an 18yr old photographer who lost his brother through su***de in 2020. Through the sale of his calendars he raises money for SAMH - North East Su***de Prevention in the hope he can help others and preventing families from experiencing the pain he went through. He won the amazing accolade from the Rotary Great Britain and Ireland , the Young Citizens Award 2025 for his achievements and we wish to support his work by sharing the photo relevant to each month from his calendar.

This photo is 'Neve touches the North Sea, Aberdeen Beach for November 2026 with the quote

'to appreciate the beauty of a snowflake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.' - Aristotle

You will find the full calendar on display in the cottage.

Obviously Torin's original photo's are better than the ones we have taken of his, but here is November. If you wish to support the cause please visit his page https://www.justgiving.com/page/torin-liversedge?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

This is a video taken back in late September which for those of you familiar with the area, you will see the damage to the hills by the wildfire. We will share more videos in due course of it's recovery but we are pleased that to see nature is healing
