Hi Estevan, It's an "arty" picture from the local newspaper, (the little lanterns are cute), but yeah...it's pretty much normal for up here. I used to stay in a very similar house as that. Aberdeenshire is a million miles away from places like Edinburgh or Glasgow. Get a few (like 4) miles out of Aberdeen city or even a small town like Stonehaven and you are totally encompassed by the old Caledonian forest and the little crofts and smithies trying to make a living. I was taking some rubbish up to the local recycling plant up the old back road to Banchory on Friday and you only had to drive a couple of miles before everything became all dark and the sky filled with tall, ancient fir trees covered in snow and skinny winding roads and rickety bridges over streams and a creepy sense of forboding....MacBeth and all that! Brrrr...I'm off to bed and my Electric Blanket! cheers, Ron
