Linda, like you the rapeseed fields draw me in as well. I’ve never tried cooking up the greens, I’ll have to give that a try. Great idea on drying flower and stalk as well. One of the draws of the beaches in that area is that they are shallow, thus the water temps are warmer. The water warms to the high 60s F or around 20 C in the shallows during the summer. Still a bit chilly, but fun to swim in.

Thanks, MJ. It is a lovely beach area, especially in the winter when it’s uncrowded and the sand is frozen and crunches underfoot. Glad to hear you enjoyed the rapeseed images. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Shannon, I know you guys would enjoy the area as well as the inn. The food was amazing as you’ll see in the next installment. Alas, the rapeseed blossoms have left for another year. They usually last a couple of weeks but this year their bloom was early and shorter. Glad to hear you enjoyed the post and thanks for stopping by.

Thank Neil, it was indeed a fine outing. However, nothing is planned in the near future. Ah, a hike in the Scottish hills sounds great. Thanks for having a read…

Hi Angie and thanks for visiting my blog as well. We’ll be posting the next installment this coming Friday if all go as planned. Take care…
