Nature, Food and Lottery winnings galore

Hello Hello Hivians and Hivers

The last Sunday in October is here and Guy Fawkes night is just around the corner. It's my favourite part of Autumn, big bonfires and hot sausages, what a combination!!

Nature, Food and Lottery winnings galore.png

Storm Benjamin was in England this week, whilst we in Scotland had beautiful weather!

So yesterday I decided we would go for a wee stroll to the lake and around a small part of it.

But the weather was so nice I decided to fluff it and try to walk completely around it. Not particularly easy as there is not really a trail on the other side.

And so the wee trip which started walking from left to right around the lake became a fluffing hike trough mud water and a Scottish jungle lol!

We made to the meadow on the other side of the lake.

But how the hell do you get through lot 🤣

It was a blast and of course there a gazillion pictures of nature putting on a gorgeous free show!

We came back into town via a different route out of the woods and saw this Burghy's burger joint!

After five hours hiking these old bones decide a beer and a burger would be a great reward!

image.png

I cannot recommend the crispy Burghy's special enough, they had gorgeous crispy bacon, 100% smashed beef burgers, cheese and their delicious sauce, the fires were fluffing hot!

image.png

As got the crispy meal deal, it included one of their donuts!

The universe works in mysterious ways, yesterday I posted Cronot or Donut? and here we were getting another tasty treat. Whilst they were not cronuts, they had a dark chocolate sauce injected into the one on the right and salted caramel into the one on the left, not a lot but enough to make it even more delicious than it looked!

Dinner done and I checked my emails!

Winner Winner!

I used to do a People's Postcode lottery here for a few years and only ever won books. So last year I scrapped my subscription and start playing our new local town lottery.

What do you know!

I won £250 or about $333

image.png

That just topped off a fluffing awesome day!

As the old saying goes .... You make your own luck!

Wow that looks like it would have been a really fun and interesting hike around the lake!

And I just love that "somehow" when you got to the other side you came out so completely randomly to this great burger joint! 🤣

And I must say- that burger looked freaking DELICIOUS!!! Yummmmmmm

Even being a vegetarian myself....🤔

I too would have smashed those donuts down for sure- after asking for more chocolate sauce! 🤣

And congrats on winning the lotto- not 250mil pounds, but some is still way better than nothing eh!

Hehe it was a fun hike and managed to stand in a wee bog lol! Ah the randomness, at the other side of the lake behind all those trees is a new block of houses next to a road, follow that road back into town and there is that burger joint lol!

But I had not been down that road for a couple of years and hadn't seen. It looked so clean and new, so we checked it when we got home and sure enough it opened in June. Hehe it was tasty, and they do have vegetarian options, and if they are half as good as that burger I would have no hesitation in recommending them lol. Then the doughnuts were the icing on the cake so to speak!
The lottery win, yeah would be good to win a national one, but heck this was fun too!

Have a great week 😎

Sublime and beautiful. I can't believe we were out for five hours. Fun with a big F, all day today it has rained, and last night, then minutes after we got home, the heavens opened! Perfect timing!

What envy! Not just for the outing and the food, but also for the lottery. I have never played the lottery. I think I’m going to start doing it. Sending you a winning-number hug.
Ah, I just saw that the Rangers won today 3 to 1. We have to celebrate!!!!

A very nice walk, those photos are wonderful, the light in the sky is very clear.
You're a lucky winner, that's a good prize. I imagine you can buy a lot of things there with that amount. Have a happy Sunday, dear @tengolotodo . A big hug from Maracay.

Thanks Irvin, it was a wonderful day, and when the sky is like this, the light is unbeaten and makes everything amazing. The win was great, but here things are not cheap so it does not last long, but it was a fantastic surprise.
Have a wonderful new week and sending you a hug from Scotland!

It wasn't the warmest of days for sure! But moving around does help you stay warm, and you got some great food to cap the day off! Not too bad at all!
