Lost and found.

A very frantic lady parked her car at the bottom of our driveway this morning and rushed up our drive with a tale of woe..or 'tail of woe'.She was a local lass from the nearby village and while walking her dogs along the forest track in front of our house one of her Jack Russell terriers had broken its lead and escaped into the woods.We were working ourselves up to go on a walk anyway up to Easter Boleskine so we said we would look out for it and call its name.The dog in question was unfortutately called 'Kipper' so we had great fun walking through the woods calling out 'Here Kipper' every now and then as if we were fish merchants..we expected people to appear with their money for the local fish van. We looked high and low as we strode up into Farigaig Forest passing the Easter Boleskine Wetlands project which now has a new wooden jetty built by a group of 35 officer cadets from Tayforth University Officers Training Corp army cadet officers recently.

Come here...there's more.....The story does have a happy ending.
After our uneventful walk we phoned up the lady owner to say we had not had any luck so far and she breathlessly but very happily informed us that 'Kipper' had been seen by German tourists.She had talked to them while they were sitting having a picnic at Farigaig Forestry Picnic Site and they said a dog answering Kipper's description had being taken in to a cottage in Inverfarigaig and the cottage owner had phoned her up and reunited the pair.Both were very, very happy and so were we.
