Hoots Mon, We've been to Bonny Scotland

Posted by Wyatt Earp , Thursday, June 30, 2005 7:51 pm

After many years of my nephew's "Grand Days", we have eventually been to one. The "Grand Day" is the last day of term at their boarding school, it being a school with very strong links to the military, it will come as no surprise that the school has a very strong military ethos. So much so, that on the last day of term the whole school turns out for a proper military parade.

My youngest nephew Andrew, was leaving the school this time, and as he has been the "Senior Monitor" (Head Boy) it was him to be the Parade Commander. My sister of course was as proud as punch as of course we were, it was all very impressive.

The school is in Dunblane, just north of Stirling in Scotland, we took the Moptorhome and had a 5 day holiday, it was really good, spent a night in Staffs on the way up and a night in the Peak District on the way back down.

We are due for a week's stay in the Peak District in August, so are both looking forward to that. Roll on the holidays.......

A Weekend in Felixstowe

Posted by Wyatt Earp 7:47 pm

What a lovely relaxing weekend we have just had. Spent 3 days at Felixstowe - I should have been sailing but for us, the wind never came. The sun shone brightly (and hot), the skies were blue, but the wind stayed definitely away!

Still, never mind, Sandra wasn't working so she came too, brought her paints, her sunhat and it was a nice relaxing weekend. According to her pedometer, we walked 22 miles over the 2 days - up and down the promenade and into the town!

Very close to our sailing site was a car boot sale on the saturday and a Market fair on the Sunday - even better.

Having said all that, I hope it's windy the next time I go sailing!!
