So much for a nice few days weather

It is currently peeing down,  cold and dreich, with snow forecast.  Having said that I have been in Crieff for two days and this morning we awoke to snow lyig on the ground.   Just ideal for the farmers who were going to tae part in a ploughing competition in Auchterarder - even  had three teams of horses competing.   Did not realise how competitive it is with guys shipping tractors and plougs all over the world to compete.

I was in Crieff to attend the 200th anniverary celebrations at Strathearn R A Chapter no 34 yesterday,  what a super day, very interesting and we had the Supreme Fisrt Princial, Ian Fraser along with a team to carry out the rededication ceremony.

Found a couple of eating houses (hotels) for  evening meals on Friday and Saturday, and even a local kebab shop for RGB's late supper.

Steed of Steel is still in doc,  unable to get it started so looks like Andy Mimms will need to come up from Border Bikes and put it all back together again.

Mercat Grill has been very busy which is good news,  and as usual some lovely customers both new and regulars.    Even had my friend J. J. (john Johnston) in for his birthday lunch - just a young lad, a sprightly 65 and working as hard as ever.
