So, we had a wine tasting with a difference once again. But before I go on, yes I did have a Clansman breakfast, along with Ailsa who had to eat her croissants - much to the amusement of other diners who were wondering what we were up to.
Sparky Mark gave me a lift home as he was working early - and once again it was a restless , sleepless night.
The TV was on so we managed to see Andy Murray win his match before the tasting started
, well done, then into the business of the evening led by Tara who was describing each of the ten wines before tasted them - accompanied on this session by a varied assortment of South African foods. Some were just a bit spicy for me, but well received by the others - however, having had my Clansman earlier I was quite content.

Our professional photographer managed a few shots of the session which will hopefully be used in the promotional video.
Bit of a disappointing turn out but with the weather being so good, tennis and other sport on the TV I suspect a few were otherwise engaged. So there will be no more tastings until the dark nights are back with us again. Just a shame when there are such good wines, good food and company.

Still quite hazy this morning but it should warm up, hopefully we are not forecast to get type of rain they had during the night at Glastonbury.
Lots on the TV this morning about the sudden death of Michael Jackson in the USA, bit of a shock, but now we will have to wait and see what stories come out about the various medications he has been taking.
Need to wish Yvonne a happy birthday today, she, Grant and the dogs will be packing up at Haggerston Castle, and heading back home shortly. I think Grant is 21 again and again on Sunday.
Not sure what the day has to offer, but tomorrow it will be back to work, then zoom home, change, a quick look into the Scout Hall to see what Penicuik Scouts are doing to mark their 100th anniversary, then down to Dryburgh Abbey where Provincial RA are going to work a special degree in the crypt there as part of a special celebration for the Melrose Abbey RA.
Depending on time it will be back to Loanhead / Straiton where we have been invited to a BBQ. OK for a buzzy bee.
