Gameboy



The worktops inside the kitchen at Cristin are fine and dandy, but sometimes you just need to move on – or out. So, if you need a bit more room, feel a little warm or have something especially messy to do, then it is outside to the wall that you go. Over the years we have prepared cooked lobsters and crabs, gutted fish and today Jim did his ‘hunter/gatherer’ thing on the wall by the kitchen window. We hadn’t been culling the island birds, but had been given two brace of partridge and a pheasant via the farm from the mainland. So, with much feather flying, Jim spent an hour or two plucking & cleaning them up. Cold work but someone had to do it - and it wasn’t going to be me!
