A Highland Legacy: The Forres Highland Games 95th Anniversary Celebration

Wild strawberries

 

Wild strawberries - the summer taste of my childhood. There were a lot of them in my grandmother's garden.

When I bought two bushes last year, my friend said, 'No way, no chance you're going to plant them in Scotland!'

"we'll see," I replied.

As you can see, I was successful! They are so sweet that I can eat them until the end of October!

Polish dumplings called pierogi.

I have made traditional Polish dumplings called pierogi. Dumplings are very popular in Poland, using an ancient recipe. It is said that they came to my country from China, where dumplings are prepared with cabbage, called jiaozi. In Poland, dumplings are an everyday food prepared for the day's main meal.  For special events such as on Christmas Eve, we make them with sour cabbage and wild mushrooms. Modern Polish cuisine they are made with different fillings, some very oriental and exotic.

Dores Beach ducks.

A few weeks ago, I visited Loch Ness. I did not find the Nessie monster, but I saw pretty ducks. They behaved a wee rudely and did not get scared, a bit like home pets. They kept me company when I  was drinking coffee…

Highland Logies bridge

I found this beautiful bridge in Highland, on my way to Fort August. It is situated near a gorgeous place, Highland Logies, where you can rent a place for resting.
