Our upside down lad




Sunday p.m. and a great adventure was had on Saturday with the treasure hunt, however that will follow.
Today I had to go collect the car and in doing so found Young "Scottie" from the land of Oz, brother of Robbie, who is on his world tour !! Canada, Germany , and now here in Scotland. However this is a quick stopover of two days as he is off to London to see his compatriots beat England in the final or Fifth Test at the Oval, beginning on Wednesday. Then back up to see us again. On our way home we spotted this unlikely duo helping a "fair maid in distress" , the lady in question , Niamph ( our Irish No 2 teamleader) had found that she had a puncture. I am sure she said she had called the AA for assistance, but got it wrong when Jamie @ Shrek and his pal turned up - perhaps she called the wrong AA !! I heard her telling Jamie that her battery was flat, and he asked "what shape should it be" ?
On our way home it was easier to take Scot up to see the Hillend Ski Slope, rather than look at it from a distance and try and explain what it was like - place was quite busy, and amongst the skiers were several little lads who were in their glory hurtling down the slopes without their ski poles, etc.
