We are off to Scotland



 We are off to Scotland

Hopefully in a couple of hours’ time.  The weather has just broken and in place of blue skies and sun we have rain and more rain.  Ah well – let’s see what it’s like a few hundred miles north…

Not much has made me laugh out loud of late but this did –


Ironically, it was Canadian Chickadee who posted this on her Facebook Page.   She lives in the USA’s North West coast area.  On July 23rd Seattle received 0.74 inches of rain. The previous record for July 23rd in Seattle was 0.54 inches in 1949, the year I was born – and that’s a long time ago folks.  “We’ve received more rain today than we normally get in the whole month of July,” said National Weather Service Meteorologist Johnny Burg.  Bearing in mind Seattle’s reputation that must have been quite some downpour.

 Since we are heading for my nephew's wedding there is a double reason to hope for sunshine this weekend.


I may be incommunicado for a couple of weeks but hopefully this time it will be for good reasons and not health so please don’t worry.


A Wedding Kiss

We passed a wedding taking place at the Bluecoat Chambers in Liverpool the other day.


Excuse me – isn’t it the bride and groom who are supposed to kiss?|?


 A new Blog

If you are feeling bored (or even if not) why not check out the new blog of a recently acquired local friend, Tommy.  The first July 25th page shows you what it can be like around here on a beautiful summer’s evening while the second one from that day will make you hungry, even if you’ve just eaten....   

Have a good couple of weeks

  9. I love your casual "Going to Scotland today". If I were going to Scotland it would be a major event! The only foreign country I could get to in a few hours would be Canada...somehow not the same! Enjoy the wedding!
