A January afternoon in Houton

After my sojourn south comes the debrief.  How did I make a set of spare car keys just using a bar of soap ?  Did I tip off one of the personnel on the Hamnavoe to ‘look the other way’?  Obviously my solicitor is on his way. 

After resisting the lure of a ‘Dream Ring’* in two branches of Harry Gow’s, I did my field work in Dingwall and then Forres.  After signing a waiver I was allowed to accompany the Current Mrs Creel in a walk around the coast to Houton late afternoon.  A chilly start but it all ended with a sunny glimpse.  Don’t forget that tonight it is the Burns Supper in Rendall.  But some of you will have spotted that in the Guardian Arts Supplement.
