Scotland - Blog Posts
Had some film developed recently. A few hikes from the summer, namely around the Mournes and in Wicklow. A bonus photo of my friend Roberta on top of the well rock in Dunino Den in Fife – a powerful and ancient place that you could drive right past without ever knowing was there! The area was clearly of significance to the Picts given the carved stone footprint beside the natural well, the Pictish stone and the stairs hewn out of the rock itself. It's a beautiful area. Go if you ever get the chance!
You know what you gotta do 😤

Steak and Link Pie
Steak and Link Pie
With the craptacular year that was 2021 behind us, Crazy Debbie decided to make a traditional Scottish pie. With added Debbonian enhancements. This can be done either way, by searing the meat beforehand and adding to the pastry then baking, or slow cook it. The slow cook option will tenderise the steak and thicken the gravy, though the temperature should be lowered to prevent the pastry…

Ah... and now the Marauders Fandom has come for this post, lmao
Looking up Scottish mythological creatures and
Wulver: a werewolf in Shetland, that is said to have had the body of a man with a wolf’s head. It was reported to have left fish on the windowsills of poor families.
That is the nicest Werewolf legend I’ve ever heard of.
🎉Very, very Happy Birthday, honey Algy!🎉
Algy carried his birthday presents and cards over to a nearby bench, one by one, to keep them off the wet ground, and then began to open them eagerly. The sun had not yet climbed above the surrounding ridges, and the early morning air was cold, grey and decidedly damp… But at least it was calm for a change, and Algy was so excited that he paid little attention to the weather, except to observe gratefully that for once it was neither raining nor windy, for gusts like the ones that had caused his balloons to mishbehave the day before would most certainly have blown his birthday cards and pretty wrapping paper away out to sea…
Unwrapping one of his presents, which a very kind friend had sent to him from the south of England, together with a lovely card, Algy found a cute fluffy-bird sized book entitled Poems for Happiness… and when he opened it at random, Algy was delighted to see one of his favourite verses about friendship, which he dedicates today not only to the wonderful friend who sent him the book, but to all his amazing tumblr friends who have followed his adventures over the years and shown him such wonderful kindness.
Without all of you, Algy's adventures would be pointless… so on the occasion of his 13th birthday, Algy sends you all his very fluffiest thanks, and lots and lots of very fluffy hugs:
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Like a quetzal plume, a fragrant flower, friendship sparkles: like heron plumes, it weaves itself into finery. Our song is a bird calling out like a jingle: how beautiful you make it sound! Here, among flowers that enclose us, among flowery boughs you are singing.
[Algy is reading a verse from a traditions Aztec text, He Makes The Eagles And Ocelots Dance With Him! attributed to the 15th century author Nezahualcoyotl, who Algy understands was a philosopher, warrior, architect, poet and ruler (tlatoani) of the city-state of Texcoco in pre-Columbian Mexico.]
