Although I have lived in Scotland and my eldest son was born in Inverness I have never walked in Scotland.

Walking in Scotland has been a dream of mine for many many years so you can imagine how excited I am about this trip πŸ™‚

ipods and head phones.

As part of my Christmas box or should that be Christmas bag πŸ™‚

I received an ipod shuffle.

Its fantastic for down the gym, small easy to use , clip it on and away you go.41PYP1BXHKL._SL500_AA280_

Stores 240 songs that you can shuffle around so its like having a new play list every time.

My problem was getting the earphones to stay in my ears.

Once I start sweating they just keep slipping out !!

Over the last few months I have bought a few pairs of headphones but always the same problem

This weekend I decided enough was enough and splashed out on the headphones that I knew would work.

Sennheiser PMX70 – Sportline Stereo Neckband Headphones.

The price had previously put me off.

The out come was that I now have great earphones that stay in my ears and the lesson to be learnt was…. don’t buy on impulse shop around, as at amazon. they are half the price of what I paid πŸ™

Maybe I should have known not to buy them from the APPLE store.

A perfect day…

Waking up in my favourite place in Cambridge cuddling Geoff.

Kippers and toast for breakfast.2374663724_f0c7fbb87a

Then off for a 21 mile walk in glorious sunshine.

Tea and cake at The Orchard in Grantchester.

Then a quick swim in the fast flowing River Cam,at the NRC.

Where the water temp was 8°C, believe me there is nothing more refreshing.

Home to make a nice dinner .

Then out to meet Tony for a couple of Gin and Tonic’s.

What more could a girl ask for…..

You are fired !!

Is what I would say to Ben Wilson who is a Scottish West Coast Grower of mussels.

He describes his mussels as being renowned for “their plump Juicy meats”Mussels

Well the bag of mussels I had purchased from my own fish counter at Tesco in Downham Market was far from being plump, in fact they were tiny.

I would have been embarrassed to serve them if I had cooked them for a dinner party.

I was so disappointed with them that I will be complaining to Tesco and hope to get a full refund.

Update… I got a full refund from Tesco today :-)  shame that I will not be happy to buy them again πŸ™

The Only Way…
