Firsrt Visitors of 2026

Sunday saw Cousins Duncan and Trisha drive down from Campsie Glen with Luna their Boxer dog. The initial plan was to show them the new house but of course I had the new opportunity of cooking for them for the first time. Up in Killiecrankie our visits had been cake-based and brief, so this was a departure! Since I am getting better at meal planning, I made the soup the day before, and marinated the chicken overnight to kicl start the day of cooking on Sunday. I was up early to go to get some cauliflowers and mill for tea and set the table. What a lovely visit we had with the usual abundance to topics under discussion and much laughter. Luna was not her usual kissing self so I had to make do with the odd cuddle!

What a lovely visit it was!
