Ua hōʻike ʻia ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana o kahi kauka lapaʻau i hoʻomaha ʻia no ka piʻi ʻana ma Speyside i nā makahiki hakakā.
Ua hauʻoli ʻo Norman Matheson i ka kūleʻa akamai ma ke ʻano he kauka lapaʻau kūkākūkā ma Aberdeen, ma mua o ka lawe ʻana i ka hoʻomaha.
Akā naʻe, i kona wā kamaliʻi, noho ʻo ia ma kahi hale mahiʻai ma waena o Tomintoul a me Glenlivet.
ʻO kāna e puke, Hoʻomanaʻo Speyside, hoʻomaka i ka evocative au.
Kākau ʻo ia: “ʻO ke ola ʻana i kona wā kamaliʻi i ka hakakā ʻana ma kahi mahiʻai liʻiliʻi ma Banffshire kiʻekiʻe e like paha me ka paʻakikī.
“I ka manawa o nā pono hana, ʻo kahi kīʻaha mehameha e hāʻawi ana i kahi kahawai wai anuanu ka mea hōʻoluʻolu wale nō..
“ʻAʻohe wai wela, holoi lima lima, lumi holoi a hale ʻauʻau paha.
“Hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā puka waho i kahi hoʻopaʻi kokoke, i lilo i hale ʻauʻau no kēia mau mākaukau e ʻae i kona lewa, ʻaʻole i ʻino loa.
“ʻO ka ʻala ikaika mai ka lā i hoʻomoʻa ʻia i ka lā i loko o kāna mau papa kuʻi i hana nui i ka pale ʻana i kona ʻala maikaʻi ʻole..
“A ua ʻae ʻia nā ʻāpana i loko o kāna mau ʻāpana i ka ʻōlelo noʻonoʻo o nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa a puni.
“ʻO kahi ʻē aʻe, nā pūnaewele hūnā waho ua noa i waho no ka ʻike hou aku.”
Me ka ʻole o ka ikehu uila a i ʻole kekahi o nā mea hana maʻamau, ua luhi ke ola, e like me ka hakakā ʻana.
Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Mr Matheson: “Ma na malama hooilo, ma muli o ka nele o kekahi lako mehana ma waho o ke kapuahi peat, ʻAʻole hiki ke ʻalo ʻia nā chilblains.
“Akā naʻe, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka ʻeha hiki ʻole ke kākoʻo ʻia ma mua o ka ʻeha o ka lāʻau lapaʻau.
“ʻO ka ʻōlelo paipai e holo wāwae ʻole i loko o ka hau, poepoe a puni ka ahu peat, a hiki i ka pau ʻana o ka manaʻo o nā manamana wāwae.
“ʻAʻole paha i noʻonoʻo pono kēia lāʻau ʻino, a maopopo iaʻu, poino.”
Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Speyside Reminiscences e haʻi i nā moʻolelo he nui mai ka wā kamaliʻi o Mr Matheson, me kona hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i kekahi mau ʻano hiʻohiʻona e noho ana ma ka ʻāina.
Hoʻopili kēia i ka mea mālama holoholona ʻo Eck Elder lāua ʻo Charlie Spalding nāna i hoʻokele kaʻa kaʻa.
Eia naʻe, ʻoi loa o nā mea a pau, ʻo Willie McGillivray, he mea hoʻopaʻa wai i loaʻa i kahi mea hoʻomohala maikaʻi loa a ʻokoʻa.
ʻO ka puke hope loa a Mr Matheson, hōʻike ʻia ma 2019, he ʻōlelo mua mahalo na Prince Charles.
He kanaka lawaiʻa makemake nui ka mea hana 88 makahiki i kona ola a pau, e hoʻololi i kahi hoʻoholo kaulana i kēlā me kēia Spey a me ka Dee.
