So if i am going to start a blog that is mainly to be about my photography work i was thinking maybe a good thing to do would be to show some of the photography i have produced so far and tell you why i do what i do!
(Bare with me …see i may have just convinced myself right there that i'm writer)
The thing that probably first fuelled my interest in taking photos wasn't even the actual cameras or the cat of going out and taking the photos, but more what the actual photo represented, and that being a physical representation of something that had happened. As long as i can remember one of my favourite things to do was to remember. I fell in love at an early age with being able to recall memories, of places, events, people… the smells, the sounds, the feeling, basically all the things that pulled together to make a moment. (sounds lame and airy fairy but it's actually very genuine.) I always kept diaries, i always kept journals…. i didn't need to because i have been somewhat blessed (and trust me CURSED) with a photographic memory. (Handy when your job requires you to remember strings of number codes, not so handy when you can't forget that time you walked out of the school toilets at 15, with your already rolled up so it was shorter skirt, tucked into your pants, and half the school is queuing outside, as its lunch break, and its right next to the canteen, but back to photography)… For me, in my childhood years, i think remembering was on a par with imagining, and i would spend as much time, daydreaming and recalling, as i would daydreaming and pretending i was April O'Neill in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the world had a shortage of ginger heroines)
I think i mentioned in the previous post that photography was something that people in my family already had an interest in, so i think that with my penchant for memory, it was only natural that as i grew to understand the physical function of what a camera was and produced, my mind would race away with the possibilities of what i could use that for!
It started really simply with just disposable cameras. I'd take photos of school friends, family, holidays, reams and reams of poorly framed, badly angled shots. (of which all the negatives still sit proudly in a box in my grandparents attic, and are even now routinely brought down, by me for examination! and every single one i loved) Being able to catch something, and know that it would then be in a sense immortalised, never to be replicated in an exact same moment again, fascinated…. then being able to share that with other people, to use it as an aid to explain something, include someone… was like my childhood memory recalling magnified x1000000.
I went on to own all sorts of cheap 35mm point and shoots, even a panoramic one… then various different digital point and shoots, and finally onto film and then digital SLR's.
Today i currently own, 7 x 35mm film cameras, 1 x 120 film camera and a digital SLR…. AND a back catalog of negatives, and 6×4 prints that probably span the last 15 years….. (scouts honour i have never thrown a print away, they are stacked up in storage boxes… of course with scanning to cd, then digitalisation and even iphoneography less and less photos are physically printed…which makes me sad BUT HEY that s a whoooole other blog post right there!)
I think this basic idea of being able to recall and remember and share is what keeps my love for taking photos going. I have obviously grown to be conscious of quality, and composition. And what equipment i own and use, and knowing how to get the best results, are things that play on my mind of course. They are however by products of moving to paid photography jobs, and not drivers for why i continue to use a camera. Basically what i think i'm trying to say is i am a "Size doesn't matter" kinda girl (steady!!) and that i never ever will be a equipment snob (in fact it has put me off of forming friendships with many other photographers i have met along the way). I am often get more personal joy from something i snapped on my iphone, than my considered and composed shots, produced on my digital SLR.
Keeping true to this feeling, has also made taking photos massively central to other big loves in my life, for example, Urban Exploration, Instagram (i LOVE Instagram i find it absolutely fascinating, but again, probably another Blog post to come….) …and eventually Wedding Photography (however please be reassured that i take the quality and integrity of both my equipment and resulting photographs extremely serious at weddings, i would however love more people to want a bit of 35mm unpredictability thrown in there)
So i am getting self-conscious that i have talked a lot there, super romantically (i know get a room right?) about why i love photography (don't want to go and use all my possible blog topics up in the first week) Below is a gallery of some of my work! Some on digital, some film….(see if you can distinguish which is which) I'd be really interested to know if ….anyone reads this (haha)but also if thy do if it provokes some thought into how they started out, and what those reasons are! ( i like talking i would love to enter into some dialogue on this topic)
I'm off to go Instagram that i made a blog post!!! Joke…. (ok i probably will)

Read this, it will surprize you Zoltan that Canada pays only 16% of the NORAD costs. You benifit the most of any country as the first to be struck by nuclear attacks, yet almost the entire responsibilty is to defend you, rests upon US taxpayers, and overwhelming numbers of personall operating NORAD.
Please answer why this is not one of the reasons you gave for the USA not feeding its own children. Providing military protection for Canada takes just as much food out of the mouths of children as any of the other reasons I gave, not just a war in Afganistan. I could easily tell you Canada is forcing our children to eat rats, becasue we are paying for your NORAD for 40 years.
Maybe you can see how ridiculous your claims are!

If the US military industrial complex would keep its nose out of our(Canada) business, we wouldn't need the help of the US. But all things being what they are, we all live on the same continent. My wife is a US basher and we are always getting into arguements about the relative merits of both countries. Taking the government, industrial, and financial aspects out the equation, we are very much alike. I have traveled all over Canada and the US and love both countries. The people make the difference, not the corrupt rulers. I have also traveled overseas to other less advantaged lands and was oftentimes appalled by the living conditions and lack of freedom and security. Not that ours is any better. But, we are allowed to say and do something about it. Don't believe me, then what is this site trying to accomplish. By the way, NORAD is antiquated organization dating from the 1950's and is totally ineffective for todays defensive needs.

Well I'm not going to sit quietly while Zoltan and other Canadians take food from the mouths of innocent, defenseless American children. :naughty:
We've got to do something about this. 👿
If Zoltan speaks for all Canadians, I'm wondering why we help them so much. Since clearly they all hate us! 😡

Alex Dieringer Wins the Hodge/
Oklahoma State's 165 lb champion won his third National Championship and wins his first Hodge Trophy, wrestling's version of the Heisman.
Dieringer gave up one takedown this season and for the second year in a row it just was a pure eventuality that he won the NCAA title and the first one of the three was a score of 13-4 in the finals. He leaves college with a 133-4 record, one loss in the last three years, and a 3rd place finish as a freshman with a career NCAA record of 19-1.
After Gwiazdowski (NC State) fell to Kyle Snyder (Ohio State) in the NCAA final, there really shouldn't have been a discussion. Zain Retherford (Penn State) did get some votes and finished 2nd after a very dominant season, but Dieringer should have been the unanimous choice. This season saw four wrestlers finish undefeated. Two years ago, Logan Steiber and Ed Ruth dropped matches during the season and people started to wonder if the days of parity would take over. Yet last year the studs took over with Dieringer, Gwiazdowski, Imar, and Steiber (winning the Hodge) with dominant undefeated seasons. This year Dieringer was joined by Retherford, Nahshon Garrett (Cornell), and Snyder boasting unblemished records. None could give the collegiate resume Dieringer finished with any sort of serious serious competition and the right choice was made.

Shaningwa halts office bearers' elections
Clemans Miyanicwe
KHORIXAS -Swapo Secretary-General, Sophia Shaningwa yesterday issued a directive to all Swapo regional coordinators across the country stating no elections are to take place for local authority office bearers, namely; the mayor, deputy mayor and members of the management committee.
This comes after the Swapo District Executive Committee (DEC) recently ousted the Khorixas mayor, Elizabeth Geises over suspicions that she is aligned to the opposition United Democratic Front (UDF).
"I hereby direct you that no elections are to take place, kindly wait for instructions up until Friday, 9th November 2018," Shaningwa says in the circular sent out yesterday morning after 08h00.
The circular seen by this reporter addressed to all Swapo party regional coordinators dated 6th November under the heading, 'Term of office for local authority office bearers."
"I am writing to you as regional coordinators of Swapo party with the majority in the local authority to bring to your attention in terms of sections 11 (4) (a) and 21 of the Local Authority Act, No 23 of 1992, that the term of office of mayors, deputy mayors and chairpersons as well as members of the management committee will come to an end towards November 2018," Shaningwa stated.
This reporter sent Shaningwa questions relating to Geisess removal and if Kleophas Tjuunduwa, the chairperson of the management committee can serve while he works in Outjo which is more than 60 kilometres away from Khorixas where he is supposed to serve, Shaningwa asked this reporter to send questions via Whatsapp but she did not respond to the questions sent to her.
The Khorixas district coordinator for Swapo at Khorixas, Reinhardt Haraeb could neither deny nor confirm the ousting of Geises despite various district executive committee members confirming Geises was indeed ousted after she was accused of working in cohorts with the opposition UDF.
The Swapo DEC at Khorixas made a decision on Sunday that Gerson //Goagoseb should become mayor, deputised by Emgardt #Nauses while Tjuunduwa remains the chairperson of the management committee and Lourens //Hoebeb becomes the vice chairperson of management committee.

January Book Reviews
Harry Potter And The Cursed Child: It was so fun to enter back into the world of Hogwarts after all these years! I read it in 6 hours my ten-year-old the speed reader read it is 3! it is easy and not as dark as the last books in the series. A great story about the difficulties of parenting and how we can allow fear to make us believe out kids are "cursed" if we don't naturally understand them. You can't go wrong if you love Harry!
The Broken Way: This book addresses some incredibly difficult issues, suffering, compassion, the problem of evil and living in our brokenness and the brokenness of the world. For such heavy topics, Ann's way with words and hopeful theology give you light in the most unsuspecting places. I highly recommend this book; it was an easy listen for me(listened on Audible.) But there were so many quotes I loved I ended up buying the paper book. If you are human, you will suffer and break, so this book is for you.
Jesus Outside the Lines : Still reading this one BUT is so good I had to go ahead and tell you a little about it. If you are tired of the "us against them" discussion we all read and ashamedly participated in the crazy 2016 election then this book is for you. Scott shows the reader how we can speak truth in love just as Jesus did. I am thrilled to keep digging into this book.

text: Share: Comments Print June 6, 2012 at 4:42 PM Schmid on a four-day break, the CCL draw, injuries, Zakuani's return, Euro '12 and more Posted by Joshua Mayers The Sounders will take the next four days off from training and it's good timing for a deserved break since the team doesn't have any games until June 16 in Montreal. And the rest will be needed, as a seven-game stretch in 22 days immediately follows. Reporters asked coach Sigi Schmid questions on a number of topics Wednesday afternoon and here are some highlights: * * * (What's the attitude going into a four-day break?) "Just for everybody to get a little bit of rest physically, but also mentally. Just to get away for a while. Sort of like when you see your kids every day you don't mind having a break once in a while, not seeing them for a day or two. But I'm sure everybody feels the same way. You've just got to get away. It's a chance for everybody to recharge their batteries a little bit, get this break, because right after we come back from this break, we go straight into something like seven games in 22 days or something ridiculous thing again." (Was last night a good launching point for four days off?) "Definitely. I think the Open Cup came for us at a good time. Winning games always makes you feel better; scoring five goals in a game makes you feel even better. Hopefully we can take some of the offensive good things that have been happening for us into the regular league games, as well." (Have you had a chance to look at the CONCACAF Champions League draw?) "Yeah. I mean it's incomplete because we don't know who we're going to get. I guess we get the winner of the Caribbean tournament, so obviously that impacts things. Marathon is a team we've played before. We've got to figure out the logistics of getting down there. It's a little more pressure in this tournament because you have to finish first — it's not first or second. There are less games so the points are more important for sure. Travel for us is always the biggest component. We're coming from as far northwest, with the exception of Alaska, that you can come from the United States and going all the way down southeast if we have go down to Trinidad or Puerto Rico or Antigua. It's about as far as you can go, as well. It's not going to be a vacation. It would be nice if it was." (How can the four days off help get some guys back healthy?) "It just gives everybody a little bit more. Patrick Ianni has been doing more and more, so he'll continue to do some things over these four days, but he'll also get a couple of days off in there. We really pushed Mauro (Rosales) hard fitness-wise and he feels pretty good, so it's good for him to back off now. He should come in to Monday's training very fresh. (Adam) Johannson gets another four days with his hamstring. He's said it's coming along much faster than the last one. Michael Gspurning gets another four days. … It gives him four more days to build it up and start that process. It will help us. It will go a long way. Leo Gonzalez, same thing. Hopefully by the time we're ready to leave for Montreal, we're adding at least two or three guys into the mix." (Who do you think will be healthy by the Montreal game?) "We think maybe Ianni could be back. With him, it's more a question of fitness because he loses fitness quickly and takes a long time to gain it. So we've got to work with him. Leo is somebody that could be back into the mix, as well. Certainly Rosales is someone that will be back in the mix because we held him out of the two Open Cup games. Those are three examples." (And Eddie Johnson?) "He should be back in the mix by then, as well." (Any chance of Steve Zakuani returning say for the Open Cup?) "Don't know. Me and Steve talked about it, in fact just briefly here, but that's a conversation that will stay between us. We talked about what we're shooting for, but I think he's making good progress. Playing that game really helped him confidence and also maybe re-motivated him, as well. Not that he wasn't motivated, but it's like all of a sudden, you know how it is, you're doing something and you do something good and it feels good. It's like, 'Hey, I want to do that again.' All of a sudden you're confidence comes, your energy comes with that. And he's sort of at that stage right now. We'll push and we'll see and we'll continue to do what we're doing — take it week by week." (What do you think of Germany's chances in Euro '12?) "Good. A couple problems for them simply because Mertesacker's coming off an injury, hasn't played a lot of minutes. Schweinsteiger is supposedly got a little bit of a calf injury. Klose is coming off an injury. A little bit of that. It depends on how much he relies on the Bayern Munich players versus the Dortmund players. And I do follow the Germans. The Dortmund players are a little bit fresher at this stage. I think Germany's a quality team, but they're in a tough group, and they're opening game against Portugal is not going to be easy." (So who's your pick?) "Germany. … What can I say? When I watch the Euros and Germany's participating, and the United States is not involved, I watch it as a fan of Germany rather than as a coach trying to analyze what's going on. I still watch games and you try and pick up trends and see what's happening, but I'm definitely a fan. I definitely scream at the TV, holler at the coach for the substitution that he made — 'Why's he playing that guy?' and all that." (In English or German?) "Often in German (laughs)." Comments

Rose Krasnow Qualifies for Public Funds in Record Time
Rockville, MD - Rose Krasnow, Democratic candidate for Montgomery County Executive, has officially qualified for public matching funds. She did so in less than 100 days from her campaign kickoff on December 10, 2017.
"I am thrilled to hit and surpass this goal so early in my campaign," Krasnow said. "Since first announcing my intention to run in November, I have received strong encouragement from individuals across Montgomery County. I never expected such an outpouring of financial support so quickly. It is very heartening."
Krasnow qualified faster - by months - than any of her publicly-financed county executive opponents. Krasnow is strongly committed to running a grassroots campaign. By electing to opt for public matching funds, the former three-term mayor of Rockville can only accept contributions ranging from $5 to $150 from individuals. Only contributions from Montgomery County residents are matched with funds from the Public Campaign Finance Program. Contributions from PACs and corporations are prohibited.
"Clearly, my message and my candidacy are resonating with voters across the county. I think what stands out is that I am unique as the only candidate with both executive experience and tremendous knowledge of the county," Krasnow added.
Ms. Krasnow's momentum is taking her towards the Democratic primary on June 26, when many state and local offices will be contested. The general election is November 6.

Bloody Sunday in Waco Texasby admin June 11, 2015
Bloody Sunday in Waco Texas
By: Constance M. Drew
Round Rock, Texas
**Our sincere condolescence and sympathy goes out to the families and friends of those who died and were injured during this tragedy.**
Sunday, May 17, 2015 will go down in history books as a day that changed lives for many; in particular those of us who own, ride or support motorcycles. Just before noon at Twin Peaks in Waco Texas where police were already on the scene, a brawl between rival Motorcycle Clubs spilled into the parking lot where a S.W.A.T. team opened fired to end it. Nine lives were immediately taken with another 18 being wounded. News reports vary as to who started it, who shot first, how many were armed and who actually took the fatal shots. Autopsy reports state all nine died from gunshot wounds from the abdomen to the head and ruled homicide. 170 people were arrested for murder and placed in jail with a 1 million dollar bond each. Waco was shut down as it reveled from the shock. Social media buzzed with the latest interviews and reports of what is being called the "Waco Massacre".
News reports were blasting how 170 people came to Waco to kill. This occurred at a scheduled Confederation of Clubs and Independent Riders meeting where motorcycle clubs gather from around the state to discuss motorcycle rights and legislation. Various clubs including christian motorcycle, child protective and leisure riding attend these to support their rights. Yes, it does include other clubs as well, but this is historically a PEACEFUL NEUTRAL setting where clubs lay their personal differences aside, remain neutral and come together for the good of the whole. They are NOT looking to murder or to have international attention drawn upon them. I have attended these meetings. Yet, everyone who attended on Sunday was arrested for murder. Really? Where was the intent to satisfy this?
Twin Peaks in Waco lost their liquor license first, then their franchise. It has been announced by Twin Peaks corporate that they have suspended all bike related events at their establishments and encourage franchises to do the same. One establishment in Texas that has hosted COCIR meetings peacefully for two years announced they can no longer do so.
There are now Gun Right advocates jumping on the bandwagon wanting stricter background checks. Waco has several businesses still closed including the police order shutdown of the Harley Davidson there. Streets around Twin Peaks are still closed and there is mandatory NO MOTORCYCLES ALLOWED on the streets of Waco with snipers staked out on building tops, as law enforcement fears retaliation. The borders between Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Mexico are being closely monitored with checkpoints for traveling motorcyclists, all right at Memorial Day weekend.
This tragedy affects all of us on a larger scale. Lives were lost. Blood was shed. Families, friends and brothers ripped apart. Folks who had no prior criminal record are now considered murderers. Those who ride a motorcycle are considered a thug (as quoted by several media sources). Businesses lost, jobs lost, trust lost and unfortunately, I fear the list will go on.
Continue to follow us on Facebook for the latest in this and other stories that affect the motorcycle, car & gun communities.

The Confederation of Clubs Deeply Saddened by May 17, 2015 Waco, Texas Motorcycle Club Incident at a local Confederation of Clubs meeting
The National Coalition of Motorcyclists and all of its local affiliates are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred on May 17, 2015, and are praying for those involved and their families. Immediately prior to the start of a Texas affiliate's monthly meeting, a motorcycle club that was NOT a member of the Confederation of Clubs arrived with over 50 people and attacked members of the Confederation.
The National Coalition of Motorcyclists and its local affiliates are dedicated to peacefully promoting and protecting Constitutional rights, promoting fair treatment of its members by law enforcement, educating its members on current laws, open and peaceful communications between clubs, conflict mediation, and supporting various charitable endeavors. We are grieving.

Evaluation of these buildings revealed several specific structural motifs that belay differential activity in chosen AgrC receptors (i.e., AgrC-I, AgrC-II, and AgrC-III). The outcomes of this research could be leveraged for 383860-03-5 IC50 the look of new artificial Rabbit Polyclonal to E2F6 ligands with improved selectivities and potencies for these AgrC receptors. Launch is certainly a common individual pathogen that utilizes a cell-density sensing system known as quorum sensing (QS) to initiate virulence and create attacks.1-3 This bacterium uses the item gene regulator (agr) program for QS, that is regulated by brief macrocyclic peptide indicators, termed autoinducing peptides (AIPs), and their cognate transmembrane AgrC receptors.4 continuously makes the AIP sign at low amounts, and the focus of signal boosts with cell thickness. Once a threshold AIP level is certainly reached in confirmed environment, and therefore a quorate inhabitants of bacteria provides constructed, the AIP sign can bind and activate the extracellular sensor area from the AgrC receptor, leaving a signalling cascade to activate the transcription of genes involved with group behaviours (Body 1).1, 3, 4 Nearly all these QS genes control virulence phenotypes in strains have already been identified (groupings ICIV), each having distinct AIP indicators (ICIV) and corresponding cognate AgrC receptors (ICIV).3, 4 Furthermore, the agr QS circuit is conserved in lots of staphylococcal types (numbering over 20 up to now), with each producing its unique AIP.4 The buildings from the AIP indicators from are shown in Desk 1. Interestingly, each one of the indigenous AIPs in is certainly with the capacity of inhibiting the non-cognate AgrC receptors within the various other three groupings.4-6, 19 Furthermore, the AIPs utilized by (group We) and (group We) have already been reported to cross-inhibit the AgrC receptors of selected groupings (groupings ICIII).19-21 These observations possess prompted the hypothesis that staphylococcal species make use of their QS systems never to only assess their very own regional population density, but additionally to hinder the QS systems of various other bacteria residing close by. Such disturbance could, for instance, enable one 383860-03-5 IC50 group or types to preferentially colonize an environmental specific niche market on a bunch. We are especially thinking about delineating feasible intergroup and interspecies QS disturbance in and in various other related bacteria. Particularly, we seek to recognize nonnative molecules with the capacity of selectively modulating specific AgrC receptors for make use of as mechanistic probes to attenuate QS signalling in blended microbial populations. The look of such substances requires a comprehensive knowledge of the structure-activity interactions (SARs) between your AIPs and the various AgrC receptors. Desk 1 Buildings of selected indigenous (above the dashed range) and nonnative AIPs (below the dashed range). Shaded peptides analyzed in this research.a AIP-IY-S-T-(C-D-F-I-M)AIP-IIG-V-N-A-(C-S-S-L-F)AIP-IIII-N-(C-D-F-L-L)AIP-IVY-S-T-(C-Y-F-I-M)AIP-ID-S-V-(C-A-S-Y-F)AIP- IIbN-A-S-K-Y-N-P-(C-S-N-Y-L)AIP-IIIbN-A-A-K-Y-N-P-(C-A-S-Y-L)AIP-ID-I-(C-N-A-Y-F)AIP-IIcD-M-(C-N-G-Y-F)and many man made AIP-III analogues seeing that determined using NMR spectroscopy.10 Earlier this research allowed us to recognize two critical structural motifs within AIP-type ligands that confer inhibition and activation from 383860-03-5 IC50 the AgrC-III receptor C (i) a hydrophobic patch (or knob) in the macrocycle needed for receptor binding and (ii) yet another hydrophobic get in touch with or anchor in the N-terminal tail crucial for receptor activation. Within the lack of the anchor, peptides formulated with a hydrophobic knob had been discovered to inhibit the AgrCIII receptor, presumably by outcompeting the indigenous ligand. The existing research got three parallel seeks centered on further growing our knowledge of AIP:AgrC connections. First, we searched for to recognize structural motifs that dictate inhibition and activation of the various other AgrC receptors (beyond AgrC-III) utilized by different groupings. To the end, we decided to go with many AIP-I and AIP-II analogues which were previously reported to demonstrate different activity developments using AgrC receptors and motivated their 3-D solution-phase buildings using NMR. Second, we searched for to characterize structural motifs involved with potential inter-staphylococcal AIP:AgrC receptor connections; hence, we also motivated the buildings of indigenous AIP indicators from and and likened these to a indigenous AIP sign in AgrC receptors (ICIII) by AIP-type ligands. These email address details are significant, as structural data for AIPs and analogues thereof still continues to be scarce. Furthermore, these results may be used to information the look of brand-new peptide, and possibly non-peptide, QS modulators along with improved receptor selectivities and potencies. Experimental Chemical substance reagents and instrumentation All chemical substance reagents were bought from commercial resources (Alfa-Aesar, Sigma-Aldrich, and Acros) and utilised without further purification. Solvents had been purchased from industrial resources (Sigma-Aldrich and J.T. Baker) and utilized as obtained. Drinking water.

Borups Corners Ontario Whitetail Deer Hunting
Sandy Point Camp
is located between Dryden and Ignace and south of Borups Corners, Ontario. It's also the located of the north-east corner of what many Whitetail Deer Hunters are calling the Whitetail Triangle. They have monster size buck all around their camp. They also offer hunting for Moose and Black Bear.
Merkel's Camp
is located on Wabigoon Lake between Dryden and Dinorwic and in heart of Ontario's best hunting. Their family built the lodge back in 1963 and continue to be the top hunting outfitter in the area. They have outstanding private land Whitetail Deer hunting with massive Whitetail Buck being harvested. Each year there are several Whitetail Bucks spotted and harvested, which are well above the 160 B&C score. Some are over the 200 B&C. The Whitetail Bucks taken are an average of 275 lbs field dressed and have some up to 380 lbs. Generally they are in the 300 plus range. Most of our hunters prefer fair chase hunts with 70% success. Baited stands are available if that is the hunter's choice. They have 5 housekeeping lakefront cottages and are not far from their hunting areas. They also have hunting for Black Bear, Wolf, Grouse and Waterfowl. They have fantastic fishing.

Good Hotel Guide Review
'Beautiful, beautiful! silvery Tay, Thy scenery is enchanting on a fine summer day.' The great McGonagall could have been moved to verse by the views from Ann and Alf Berry's B&B. From a conservation village, a driveway leads to a contemporary house in absolute seclusion, with its own bluebell wood, on the banks of that silvery river. Our readers love the 'tranquil setting', the 'cosy log fire', the 'superb food'. Interiors are immaculate (no outdoor shoes, please). The 'comfortable, spacious' bedrooms and suites, in cool shades (lots of white), have a river view, espresso machine, mini-fridge, a bathroom with underfloor heating, Scottish toiletries. One suite has a private hallway, lounge, dressing room, a bath and separate walk-in shower. Some rooms have direct garden access via glass doors. A 'wonderful' breakfast cooked by Ann, served by the 'ever-attentive Alf', might include fruit salad, griddled pancakes, French toast with crispy bacon, Dunkeld smoked salmon, rösti. Dinner, available on certain nights, is worth staying in for. If you're eating out, Pitlochry, with its theatre and restaurants (see entries), is a 12-minute drive. Guests can enjoy fly-fishing, complimentary golf.
