Bunnahabhain scallops
I was at the Fèis Ìle (Islay whisky festival) at the weekend. FUCKING YES! I had wriggingly fresh scallops tossed (if you know what I'm saying, missus) in garlic butter. Standing in the smirr (drizzle) on Bunnahabhain pier, looking across to Jura, the most delicious meal imaginable. Mind, I'd had umpteen drams so they could have been fish fingers but sod it.

Lucky git!
I hope one day to make the pilgramage to the little piece of land I have up there courtesy of Laphroiag* and sample a few drams from all the distillaries.

*I know it's just a marketing thing, but I'd buy the stuff anyhow and it's a good excuse to try to persuade the missus to go up there one day.

Yum! Takes a while to head up sadly.

It's worth it...
... seriously. Though the ferry crossing on the Sunday was a triumph of hard swallowing.
