Enigmatic Saki....


Glen Esk BBQ l-r: John; Anne; Smokin' BBQ; Ali.

John and Ali from Impossible Songs invited us up to a cottage they've rented in Glen Esk, near Forfar.

It took two hours and ten minutes to drive there.

It would've taken a lot less than that had I not foolishly decided, upon spying a slight jam up ahead on the dual carriageway heading to the Forth Road Bridge, to take a detour via the picturesque village of South Queensferry (coincidentally location of the erstwhile ancestral homes of both James Jamieson and James Sebastian Park)....

...because that meant that, 42 minutes after leaving our home, which is just 10 minutes' drive from the bridge, we finally paid the toll and headed North unencumbered by traffic jamming tubes....

The night was still warm and light when we arrived and the best barbecue ever was laid on....

We became progressively more drunk as the night wore on, with the pronounciation of the word "enigmatic" becoming a problem for some and the consumption of warm Saki a problem for others...

Thanks John and Ali!!
