Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

The dreaded haar.

But the majestic river floated on,
Out of the mist and hum of that low land
~ Matthew Arnold.

The good news, today, is that it isn't raining. The bad news, is that we have been enveloped in haar (sea-fog) from dawn to dusk. If I were a mediaeval peasant suffering a summer like this, then I would be getting seriously worried about an impending famine this coming winter.
