Lonely Cottage

I love this wee cottage with its own little row of trees. It's about a mile or so from Letham in Angus. At Christmas the owners dress it up with those little blue fairy lights and it looks fantastic, all the more so because there are no street lights out there and it really stands out in the country darkness. I used to live in a cottage about a mile up the road from here and I loved it. There can be few pleasures in the world greater than a twilight wander round your country garden with a glass of whisky in your hand and only the sound of the blackbirds and thrushes breaking the evening silence.
