The one on Mull shut a few years ago because most of the land and the terminus at Torosay changed ownership. The new owners who were not even from the UK did not want nasty common people around so it had to close and was sold off to somewhere in England.Awwww.........sad news. I remember going on this several times as a kid when we were on holiday in Carnoustie which was near Arbroath. Like everything else, lack of footfall just too much to be able to keep going

Dreich start to the day but the mist lifted and it is now raining gently.
Went to get my flu jab at he drop in clinic they have set up. Somebody decided to build the health centre on a car park at the back end of a small housing estate thus removing virtually all the off street parking with the inevitable result that cars are parked in the street. Also the car parking space at the health centre is too small which did not stop some motorhomes from taking up residence there while we were supposed to be shut down. Some sharp words were exchanged and they reluctantly moved off.
When I went down to my car I realised that a convoy of pensioners was passing but I joined on anyway. Could not even get into the housing estate due to the congestion so just came home. Did not want to leave it too long in case they ran out of supplies so after a couple of hours back again and got in no bother so all done now.
Off to make a kind of oatcake now on the griddle. 60% oatmeal and 40% flour with some salt and a touch of sugar and oil. Flatten as thin as possible by hand rather than rolling pin and on to a hot griddle. I have made some recently with a touch of garlic but somebody seems to have eaten them all.

It’s one of our go to walks. Start at Sutton stop, then cross to the other side of the canal and follow it until you get to a disused bridge on the battlefield railway line. Then just follow the signs on to the battlefield site and onwards to the Cafe and museum From there its a lovely down hill walk , though a copice back to Sutton stop. The beauty of this walk you can have a cafe stop at the beginning, the middle and the end lol. Plus you can even have a cheeky wine or beer at Sutton stop . 😂😀

I shall wait till 7pm. Although I live in Wales but we don't get S4C because our aerial is set to an English transmitter so we get Granada which is quite frustrating as we prefer the Welsh news so we know what is happening in our area.
When we were set to Welsh TV, the reception on many channels was pretty bad on sunny days, hence our new settings which is fine on all channels.

Biggest thing that a non Welsh speaker might have missed was that the new World Champion Bling Machine being ridden by Ganna cost £25k
