After the frenzy of the kitchen, I was glad when my day-off arrived, and it wasn't seven yet when my little car was packed, and I set of for somewhere where it would be cool, and calm, as my nervous system was maar a bitty frail! Tony would just have to get more staff in, as I just could not keep on at the pace I was going now!
I had decided to go to The Devil's Cauldron, just outside of Comry for the day. My favourite space around there was at the river, where a huge tree had fallen across it, and this tree was bent in such a way as to make for a comfy place to lie and read. The curves just fitted the curve of my body, and I had many a time fell asleep there. Quite dangerous, as I had to wade through the water to get to the tree, and although the water was not too deep, with lots of rocks, I think a person in a deep sleep falling into the water, could easily be drowned. So I always tried to stay awake!
I had already fell into the water once when I spotted two foxes skulking in the bushes. I thought, when I first spotted them coming in and out of the bushes, that it was two dogs, and wondered how they came to be there. When to my delight I saw that it was foxes, I was so intently watching them, trying to keep them from disappearing from my sight, that I leaned over too much, and fell straight into the river!  Nearly bally drowned, as my clothes were heavy, pulling me under the swirling water!
I read for a while, then made myself a breakfast on a throw-away barbeque thingy. It was lovely, as I had bacon, sausage, banana, which I also fried, toast, and tomatoes! And of course coffee!
I heard a car stop high up where the parking spaces are, and did feel a tinge of unrest, as there were a number of picnic spots, and I knew that some of the picnic making people became quite rowdy, liquor and beer of course playing a big role with the Scots!
So I sat waiting for them to come down, and when I spotted the first ones, a cold thread of unease ran down my spine. They were all dressed in loose black kind of overcoats, and the ones coming in my view after them, were all dressed in black. Not a sign of any other colour. I kept very quiet, and was relieved when they took the small path that led up to the Devil's cauldron!
The Devil's Cauldron is a whirlpool that swirls and gurgles viciously as the water from the waterfall high above it fell down with force. It is amazing to watch, but it had always scared me, and after the first time, I never went there again.
This black dressed people all carried black boxes, and that also seemed evil, so I just waited for them to be far enough away before packing up, scrambling havey cavey to the top where my car was.
I had a huge shock! Standing watching my car was two more black dressed figures, and as my head appeared from below, they turned and watched me with cold eyes, their faces without expression. I kind of squeaked a greeting, but they ignored me, so I just dumped my stuff into the car, and left with speed!
