the weather wasn’t great for the beach so we headed down the coast in the car to altbea (where beefy’s favourite black pudding is made), through poolewe and to gairloch. we had lunch in a nice hippyish cafe that sold homemade bagels, soup and massive cakes and had a bookshop attached to it. the sun was so hot while we ate lunch. peg got a new book about a fox called pax and daisy gradually came out of the angry mood she was in all morning. we did some crabbing off the pier at altbea then had a look for the black pudding place. couldn’t find it but I think we saw the shifty farmer who owns it. headed home...and peggy had a sudden puke in the car...all over the car. poor thing. beefy was nae happy! home for another 3.2 run, a lovely fire and tea on the beach. windy night!
