After yesterday’s chiller drama where the cooler unit was tripping out, shifting some polystyrene boxes which were stacked near the cooler blower cured the problem, we think. So this morning it was back to business cutting up the carcase and sorting things out for the changeover tomorrow.

The visiting yachties are still here and ‘Toby’ the ship’s dog was very pleased to have a present from the larder.

Later in the day ‘The Old Man Of the Sea’ came up the road, he was sailing a 35ft yacht with his wife, he’s a sprightly 90- years young, great. Once they stocked up on venison and smoked haddock they headed back to their yacht.

Later in the afternoon Baron Kelvin arrived, good friends from Glasgow, David and Alison Clark. They arrived at the door inviting us out for a ‘cocktail’. So, after the week we’ve had it was good to chill out for a couple of hours tonight and head home to prepare for the changeover tomorrow.
