TRUMPETS BLARING

Dancing girls, juggling monkeys, the whole nine yards.

YES, I have returned to my blog, finally.

Well, I did have to go home for the summer you know, and then I had to go to Scotland. Sheesh, you should be pleased to get a little bit of Alan now and then.

What...did someone mention Scotland, why what a COINCIDENCE, I have pictures...

Right, so a fine train ride north to Glasgow, nary a compliant, and loo, we get our transport for the duration of the trip. Now some of you may recall a previous blog that indicated Andrew's car chosing abilities. Well this time it was left to my to locate suitable combustion driven horseless wagon. Now my mother's were, well, impossible. A seven seater with seven seats still free after the luggage was in, loads of luggage room, heated seats, 4 wheel drive, automatic (NOT easy to find in the UK)...so basically an imaginary car. Good. Well I managed to accommadate most of these requirments, a Land Rover Discovery something or other. Amusingly enough we found a model of the car Andrew rented, so I have to park beside it to get a comparison shot.

Can YOU spot the defference?

So after I educated the guy renting us the car how to use the SatNav (Yeah, my first time ever using it as apparently it was his and I think he is still befuddled) we headed out and got to Invergarry Caslte and spent the night there. I have a few picks from the grounds and the the hotel (Note, this is not the caslte, the castle is a ruin).
I imagine you will agree. Now I did not take any pictures of the West Highland Way, probably because I was raptly starring at it. It is really spectacular, even to drive through. If I ever hyped myself up even I would do the hike the travels through it. The last pic for this week is from Invergarry Castle. Now I ask for my readers thoughts. What beast do you think is being referred to here? My father and I have our...sexiest conclusions, but I suppose anything is open to interpretation.:)

Right, I will update this coming Sunday, promises, promises. More Scotland pics I imagine, unless something amazing or not so amazing but quite odd happens to me this week.
