The University of Kilchoan's second butchery course, run by popular demand, took place on Monday and Tuesday. Student Chris Wilkinson has this to say about it:"I was one of the seven people who attended the two day butchery course at the estate larder. We butchered lamb, venison and pork before making a mountain of sausages. It was very interesting and very hands on. I personally feel confident enough now to attempt some home butchery once I have purchased the implements necessary."
The Diary notes from the above photo that Pat Glenday, the University of Kilchoan's Vice-Principal, was one of the students. One can almost hear her muttering, "Knit one, pearl one, knit...."The Diary recently received an email from Pat advising that the University of Kilchoan, having already swallowed up Lochaber College, has now also taken over Skye and Wester Ross College to form the new West Highland College - details here.
And it's not too late to sign up for Mower Maintenance on Saturday - run by Richard O'Connor, former head of grounds maintenance at that great English football club, Ipswich Town. Then, coming up, there's Sheep Foot Care, Yoga, and Quilting.
Many thanks to Chris Wilkinson for the photos.
Fascinating Jon! Good to see Davie was on the butchery course!
ReplyDeleteMy son is an avid supporter of Ipswich Town and remembers Richard from his RHS and ITFC days!
Hope you all have a good day on the Mower Maintenance course.
Many thanks once again Jon for your eagerly anticipated diary entries. It really makes me feel part of your wonderful community even tho' I am 600 miles away.
My son and I used to be season ticket holders at Ipswich, and followed them away as well. Great team.
