It’s almost time for us to be moving on again. I’ve really enjoyed our time in Nairn. There’s been some good weather, and even better than that, Seanair’s been bitten by the golf bug! I’d much rather a nice game of golf to heading up the highest, biggest, steepest hill around.

As usual, our stay has been very educational. Not only have I learnt a bit more Gaelic, but I think the rest managed to keep up too! (And I’ve learnt that if you return Seanair’s golf balls before they fall in that little hole, he gets quite upset!)

Abair seachdain a tha air a bhith againn! What a week we’ve had! The Jazz festival lasted eight days, and we heard some really great music! Even I was impressed … some real tail-wagging stuff! We were all having some quite late nights, and even Seanair had to have a long lie or two!

There was also the Scottish 6-Day International Orienteering Championships in Grantown on Spey; what a mouthful! Seanair and I decided that we’d give it a go. There was a lot of serious competition, but I think we managed to do quite well. There were a couple of places where I may have led Seanair the wrong way, but really that just let us see more of the countryside! It’s important to know your environment in situations like these!

We may not have finished in first place, but I think we definitely showed that in the senior and canine division, we have no equals!

Hàlo a chàirdean! Tha sinn ann an Inbhir Narann! I keep thinking that after such a great year, there’s no way that each new place we visit can offer us anything more, and I’m always wrong! This is just as great a place as any we’ve visited all year!

As usual, everyone else has been running around, trying to see as much as possible. There’s the Nairn International Jazz Festival this month, which starts on the 4th, so we haven’t got much time beforehand! But I’m sure we’ll squeeze something in.

I’ll have to be off just now. Seanair’s got a “walkies” look in his eyes. You’d think he’d be old enough by now to go out on his own!

Tìoraidh an-dràsta!
