Joking aside then, that does look like you've had a lovely day. The pictures are great (I only wish we had turtles over here, but I doubt they agree with the weather). It's a bloody godsend to be within good distance of spaces like that. It might actually be a cry to have a thread where we can all post photos of local parklands and wildlife. I don't have any today, but may well do that, next time I get a chance.
Your post actually inspired me to do the same today, because I've not properly been out and about for around a week. I ran into a couple of ducks doing their thing, climbed a few trees, crawled through some bushes and walked along the back of a massive moss-covered pipe, that snakes through the trees and undergrowth, funneling a stream under the nearby crematorium and out into the River Cart.
Will definitely try Lagavulin next time I get the chance. It's an Islay, right? I'm a big fan of Islay malts. Laphroiag's probably my favourite at the moment, but have you tried Ardbeg? It can have a funny, almost hospital scrubs-like taste, but it's a full and quite complex whiskey that's definitely worth checking out if you haven't already. Truth be told, I'm a little behind on my knowledge due to ongoing poorness, so if there's anything else you'd recommend, I'd certainly be interested to hear. |
