Otterly delightful

 

 

I've just returned from another long afternoon at "Bonniedoon", happy and relaxed, and what better way to finish off the day than by watching the story of Gavin Maxwell's otter. I shall never tire of watching it again and again and again as it is so otterly delightful.

 

 

Gavin Maxwell's fireplace at Camusfearna is inscribed with the Latin words 'NON FATUUM HUC PERSECUTUS IGNEM' which, according to GOOGLE, means, "It is no will-o'-the-wisp that I have followed here".

What a thoughtful and deeply meaningful inscription. If "Bonniedoon" had a fireplace (now there's an idea for the next winter!) I'd borrow it.
