I've done a good bit of tidying this weekend too chicky - never know when the weather will turn again, so making hay and all that
T'bird - I've just watched The Adventure Show (it was on at 7pm BBC2 here, but probably just Scotland) and the next one has an item on Colin Prior, the landscape photographer, so if you're able to series link or download) you might enjoy it. It's always a bit random as you never know when it's going to be on though. Tonight's was good - the guy trying to break the record for the Ramsay Round (24 Munros in 24 hours)in winter. Makes me ill just thinking about it! Good winter to attempt a record though - less severe than usual!
Did my duty today - took the girls to Xscape (Braehead) for 'laser quest' with some of their friends,and then went back and collected them.
I've no idea what it is....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I've never fancied the 'southern hills' Joyce. They always seem a bit hummocky and featureless somehow. I dar esya I'm doing them a great disservice, but I'm not attracted to them.
The Ramsay Round is utterly mental - under any conditions. After being on The Easains and seeing Jasmin Paris on her record breaking run, I still can't get my head round it!
I think it's a bit like paintballing but less messy chicky

That's my birthplace and the village where I spent all my youth. Have not visited it for many years now. I'm told it attracts many tourists.
Thanks for the link to your pics, Obelixx. Things have not changed that much in all those years. I do recognize the old Roman church (where I was a choir boy), the old castle tower, the river where I went fishing and even the old wash-house by the river where my grand-mother used to go to do the washing!
Fairy - Thanks for the heads-up about The Adventure Show. I'll download tonight's and set it to record the next one.
I've recorded a stack of the Landward programmes which are showing in England on weekday afternoons. I think they might be from 2015 but we're enjoying the scenery. Watched one featuring Gairloch & Applecross tonight - glorious.
Sorry you didn't get into the hills. Fingers crossed for next week!
Bedtime now - night all
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down

Fairy, I was exhausted just watching the Ramsay Round and the Galloway Hills race. Not the best terrain.
Chicklets have had laserquest parties in the past Fairy .....I've no clue either
.....but I remember providing the cake ???

Sweet dreams all!
Yup that's Reggie fast asleep, snoring like a truck, with his head resting on the step below.
His memory foam bed untouched just our of sight.
Hope im going to be more comfortable than that
Sweet dreams all
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Quiet today Papi Joe but still plenty of people walking arund and the restaurant sounded busy inside. We had lunch on the terrace. Some pics so you can see if it's changed much - http://s211.photobucket.com/user/Obelixx_be/library/170219%20Vouvant?sort=2&page=1
