DATE: Sunday 13 August, 1995

PLACE: Derculich Farm, Strathtay, Perthshire

WEATHER: Cooler

At home on the farm

REMARKS: Cherry Tree cottage is delightful: modernised interior, 2-storied with ample room. Kitchen well equipped, as is the laundry (we can catch up on washing and ironing!) Situated in a lovely river valley with slopes both wooded and pastured; black-faced sheep on one side, and hay bales on the other.

The farm is a going concern, and we seem to be left alone. The river has 'Private fishing' signs! The big-house of the postcard is just visible through the trees below us.

Today is a 'rest-day' after the rigours of the previous week. We sleep late; the kids watch TV, and play with animation and pure enjoyment.

We drive to Aberfeldy to shop, raid the Information Centre; then onto a Childhood Heritage Museum.

Private, and run by amateurs, it is nonetheless worth the visit, and intrigues the kids with re-creations of 1930s shops, Home Front (W. W.II) displays, and equipment from its days as a parish poorhouse.

An early night is called for as Desiree and I plan the rest of the week.
