Bowhouse Food Weekend – A taste of Fife!

October 11, 2018 by Susan Barrie Leave a Comment

Last month I attended Bowhouse Food Weekend  (which I had first heard of through Sarah’s blog).  The previous day I had distilled my own gin at Darnley’s Distillery and staff there had also recommended popping along there. So before we headed out to a wedding at the beautiful Cambo estate, we made tracks over to…

Exploring: the East Neuk

May 28, 2012 by Susan Leave a Comment

Yesterday Mr B and I went off to explore the East Neuk of Fife. According to that well trusted source Wikipedia, the East Neuk  “is geographically ill-defined but nonetheless stirs local passions” – Some more research via Google helps me to quickly gather that Fifers in that part of ‘the Kingdom’ as it’s known, basically fight…

A HIGHLAND BLEND ON INSTAGRAM

  • The golden hour. #wick #caithness #scotland
  • YOU ARE INVITED 🎭 💃 🎞 // My preview of the March-June programme of theatre, dance, film and family events at @lythartscentre is now up on the blog. We love our local arts centre (the most northerly on the UK mainland) and if you’re in Caithness, you should have a copy of the programme winging its way through your letterbox this week! Thanks to Co-directors @tom_2mt and @cjmmountford12 for giving me a sneak peek at what’s coming up in the next few months! #lythartscentre #performingarts #caithness #nc500
  • 🐾 The perfect afternoon for dog walks on the beach 🐾 #Bartie #lifeofalab
  • I think I’ve found the best kept secret in Inverness - authentic, fresh Chinese food at the Scottish Highlands & Islands and Moray Chinese Association! Soups, rice dishes, dim sum and cloud like char Sui buns - served at lunchtimes only. Had to trawl through @msthain grid to remind myself of it’s existence a while back after talking about with @northhopmichelle . Blog post link in profile now! #inverness #highland #chopsticks #chinesefood #shimca #noodles #dimsum 🇨🇳
  • I used to run a baking club in Inverness until we moved up to Caithness in 2017. Now I’m going to give it a go up here - bakers of Caithness, join me for some home-baked goods and baking chat - give @caithnessbakingclub a follow on here and on Facebook, and share away! 🍰
  • Found my new favourite dish - spiced lamb with dates and red lentils from @georgiepuddingnpie ‘Stirring Slowly’ - With only 25 mins of easy prep and 2 hours in the oven, you have a stew with delicous Moroccan flavours. Already looking forward to having the leftovers with some harissa roasted veg later in the week! #slowsunday #slowcooked
  • Caithness is awful. Just shockingly bad. Don’t bother visiting.
