No first footin this Hogmanay then

To be honest Boaby, first footin' stopped here years ago. The last "do" was at the millennium. We've gone out for a walk on New Years Day for the last 20 or so years, weather permitting, and don't even bother wishing our fellow walkers the complements of the season anymore. In the early years folk were keen to talk but now your lucky if they even make eye contact. Sure it still goes on in some villages and small communities but not in the towns.

Was up that way earlier this year and visited the shop in Aberlour resulting in large dent in Bank balance.

We spent a few days on the campsite in Aberlour last year, great walks down into the town and past the factory shop. We did make a few purchases which is more than we did after walking to The Macallan distillery, apart from a cup of tea
