'Flaming June' ? Pah! Flaming Heck! What happened to June, more like! Relentless arrows of rain have been showering down on Aberlour this morning and the sky still looks moody and sullen - but hey-ho-it's still early-ish -so anything can happen. On the bright side - if you are a duck you are gonna love it today on the Speyside Way.
If you don't wimp out at the thought of a little rain, then there is plenty of good stuff to be enjoyed on the 'Way' at the moment.
Something amazing has happened to the plant life - in amongst the wildly burgeoning hedgerows there are blinks of bruised blue forget-me-nots and purple vetch. April and May brought primrose, bluebells and fragile wood sorrel and sexy wild garlic- both edible!

Now it's June we have the headily exotic scents of Dame's violet, the intensely spicy yellow broom, banks of whins wafting coconut and frothy cream, aniseed scented Sweet Cicely.
Now, surely, with all that laying seige to your nostrils you could use your imagination, forget the Scotch mist and enjoy this feast for the senses.
If in the unlikely event that you need further encouragement to take a trip to Speyside, the forecast is all set for sunny intervals over the weekend. So come and enjoy.
