Dorene Parr had her 90th birthday party at Burifa, Brough in September.
Phil, Clare & Babs had a community Bonfire with lots of great food including an enormous 'Meat & Potato Pie' baked by Phil
Windhaven Cafe, Brough, was open for a one day special on Friday 30th November to raise funds for the RSCA.
There was a big turnout, Sky the husky and their new collie pup came along.
After a day pressure washing the slipway, Joanne & Joe took to the sea and caught some very nice cod. For the first time they Hot Smoked some of the cod which was delicious.
Even at his time of year the harbour is being well used by divers & fisherman, so hopefully for the last time this year, we are cleaning the slipway
Joe took the first turn using the pressure washer to clean the surface.
Meanwhile, Mick took the opportunity to collect seaweed for the garden, it was very handy close to the slip.
Eva the Greyhound watched on with Joanne the photographer.
In the background is a lady from China, who came all the way to the North of Scotland to do the North Coast 500.
Unfortunately, before we had finished the job, the hose sprung a leak.
So it could be fishing tomorrow while the weather is good.
The photo shows a splendid Juniper at the top of the track to the Harbour, on the north side of the burn.
Juniper is scarce in Caithness but Dunnet Head has a scattered population which Caithness Biodiversity Group aims to expand by growing plants from local seed.
On Sunday 4th November the Caithness Countryside Volunteers planted over 100 seedlings at Burifa Hill and other locations.
Brough Bay members turned out in force on a beautiful sunny
Saturday morning to clean the slipway. For some of us it was our first go with
the fab new salt-water pressure washer – great fun!
Taking part were David Glass, Tom Sayles, Angela
& Keith Nicholson, Carol Breckenridge, Jean Lyall, Alan Heywood and Norman Brockie.
