This was Autumn 2017, when the sun was beginning to set early in the evening, and it was still possible to enjoy a modest libation outside before retiring indoors for one’s dinner. Behind the house was a lovely barley field which had been cut a few weeks previously, and will end up as whisky after having been malted. Life  is good (well most of the time), and now we go forward boldly into 2018, and look forward with confidence and anticipation to the hopefully busy year ahead. Good Health to all my Friends !
