| 12th October 2009 James | Scotland In Miniature indeed! - From: Arran Jumpers Excellent summary! My wife and I just visited Arran a month ago, and we seriously considered packing up, leaving the states and moving. We REALLY didn't want to leave. The stones at Machrie Moor are quite a sight. They have an almost mystic charm to them. The parking is easy to miss. I recommend getting a detailed ordinance map of the island just so you don't miss anything! Also, King's Cave is a great small hike, and Glenashdale Falls in Whiting Bay is a spectacular 2-tier waterfall. There are numerous golf courses along the island's coast with great views. We saw the seal statue too! Fortunately, there were 3 live seals about a mile further down the road. |
| 14th September 2009 Eggs on Legs | Ohrwurm. - From: As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with 40 wives. Gary - you should have your own internet search company. How you come up with this stuff? Brill. Shaz. xxx |
| 14th September 2009 Taryn Springhall | - From: As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with 40 wives. Hi there. Your blog is so great. Really enjoyed reading it. I'm a travel writer and always love to hear what everyone else has to say about a place. What sort of guides are you using? If you don't mind me asking. Happy travels! t |
| 14th September 2009 Gary | - From: As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with 40 wives. "Since we went to Thomas Tank Engine World at Drayton Manor I have had the theme tune in my head. It's driving me bananas." Aye: http://andrewhammel.typepad.com/german_joys/2005/04/german_word_of__1.html "where the dewdrops cry, and the cats meow...." |
| 13th September 2009 dragonlady | Stonehenge graffiti - From: As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with 40 wives. Hi Al, Shaz & Beth, Stonehenge is amazing. I loved it the first time I saw it, a great many years ago. In those days we were allowed to walk around and under the stones. You really get an idea how big they are when you are under them. We were also shown some Roman graffiti - a soldier had carved his name into the stone and dated it. I can't remember the name or date (it may be on the site) but I thought it was very funny that we hate modern graffiti but love it when it is very old. It is such a shame that vandals etc. have spoiled it for everyone so you can't get right under the stones any more. I was quite disappointed the last time I was over there and we had to be so far away. Still a wonderful sight but less than I remember. There is something wonderful about seeing them on top of the hill at dusk when driving along the road, though. Very other worldly. |
| 22nd July 2009 Alastair Dobson | Arran Jumpers are not from Arran - From: Arran Jumpers Hiya, Just thought I would write a quick comment Aran Jumpers are actually from the Aran Isles in Galway Bay, Ireland. Glad you had a great trip to our island though.

| 20th March 2008 The Scoatlinds | Watch out for them there locals - From: Skyelarking That yin sittin oan the wa' looks a bit dodgy likes, when he's no interfering with skate he makes tourists drop their pants and "squeeeeel like a pig"! |
| 15th March 2008 Swaino | Barbados bound - From: Welcome to Scotland where the weather is FABULOUS! We'll send you a few sunny pics to balance the cold and rain. VB - am off soon back up to FW for start of Caley Challenge (June). Shaz and Al - look fwd to coming to weedgie land in April and seeing B'pops. Love from Norms and Lu xx |
| 14th March 2008 Amanda | Great, as always - From: Welcome to Scotland where the weather is FABULOUS! I love your blogs. The writing is funny and entertaining, but not in that crap "Holiday 2008" way. Looking forward to the next one. |
| 13th March 2008 Morv | - From: Welcome to Scotland where the weather is FABULOUS! Hey, good to see you back blogging! Cute photos of Beth! |
| 12th March 2008 Occasionally Bob | Glad to have you back - From: Welcome to Scotland where the weather is FABULOUS! Thanks guys. I feel homesick. It looks amazing. The rain in NZ cannae compare to the tartan clad misery guts rain we get in Sco'lund. Can I give you a mission to make me feel better? Gonnae stick up a photo of the hideous buildings at the Nevisport end of Fort William High Street. Everytime I think of the building and carpark around WHSmith, Mackays and the Doctor Surgery I get a warm fuzzy feeling about not being there. |
| 15th May 2007 Jo | Blogging only on the UK? - From: First flight of the Mini Egg: A trip to London with our baby girl. Please please please keep blogging. I'm doing most of my blogging from around Japan (where I live at the moment) but your domestic trips are still overseas adventures to someone else. Besides, I'm going to be in England and Scotland in a couple of months so it's interesting reading for me ;-) Jo Trouble p.s. congrats on the baby |
| 15th May 2007 Eggs on Legs | Work... - From: First flight of the Mini Egg: A trip to London with our baby girl. Hi Steven - yip, Alan has been working in Knutsford for the past 7 months. I'm obviously not working, but wouldn't go as far as saying I'm bumming around, esp at 4am for Beebop's feeds! Hope you are well, Shaz. x |
| 15th May 2007 Steven RW | Hello :) - From: First flight of the Mini Egg: A trip to London with our baby girl. Cute baby :) - u guys still bumming around or back to work yet? RBS is all the same - needless to say! RW |

| 14th April 2007 Occasionally Bob | Mmm kebabs... - From: Parklife yum yum yum. Me pal Sylv went to the Walthamstow dog races once (home to East 17 no less)... she was also a bit disappointed with the whole affair. Have you ever tried doing accumulator bets on the footie? Rob got addicted after putting on 1 poonderly that he found down the back of the couch. There were spreadsheets and everything - sad! |
| 10th April 2007 Kat & Fran | Love the photos! - From: In the land of the biscuit - the Caramel Wafer is King!!! Hey guys, was fab to meet you both (& bump at that time) at morv and craig's wedding. Beth looks absolutely gorgeous - big congrats! Looks like you're all having a lot of fun :) |
| 10th April 2007 Jackie | I think - From: In the land of the biscuit - the Caramel Wafer is King!!! Ahhhhhh, bless she is beautiful. |
| 9th April 2007 Amanda | Easter Greetings - From: In the land of the biscuit - the Caramel Wafer is King!!! The new update is fab - Beth is definitely a "bonnie wee lass". Your comment about taking her everywhere made me smile - I'm glad you take her everywhere - I think she's a wee bit young to be home by herself!!! You two seem to be settling in to the parent thing just great. Congrats again. Amanda xx |
| 8th April 2007 Morv & Craig | Happy Easter from Barra! - From: In the land of the biscuit - the Caramel Wafer is King!!! Love the blog update, photos are fab. Having a great time here, the weather was great yesterday - not so good today but we wrapped up warm and went to the beach for a walk with Neil, Hughie and other cousins anyway. July will be great! Mum, Dad & Fiona say hi. Will be in touch next week. Morv & Craig xx |
| 17th March 2007 Stella | Amazing! - From: Bonkers Honkers - Typhoon alert! Lovely photos. :D Enjoyed reading your blog. Hi and bye from HK :) |
| 14th March 2007 Angela | Congratulations - From: A good old Scottish Wedding! I just had to put in my wee lil' say too!! (getting pretty Scottish ain't I?) that's after reading your whole blog, thru these days. So just had to tell you how interesting it was, and to congratulate you on your mini-egg Beth. I thoroughly enjoyed my arm-chair travels (sitting in Kuwait) with you and perhaps one day will enjoy sojouring thru Oz and NZ.. yeah someday!!! All the best and will drop in sometime to check out your future blog. You made fantastic reading. Thank you. |
| 11th March 2007 anonymous | - From: A good old Scottish Wedding! Congratulations! That is such wonderful news. A baby girl - just lovely. I love little children, so that's why I'm so thrilled for you. Enjoy every minute with little Beth. They grow up sooooo fast, and before you know it, they are taller than you, KNOW more than you etc! Thank you so much for your comment to me. I guess I should have gone to your first page and I would have read about baby Beth, but I have your last blog saved and go there to see if another one has been posted. I'll still be watching out for more blogs from you, and might comment again sometime, if you wouldn't mind. Hope you make it back to Oz. (come on Paula!) I have longed to go back for years now, and can hardly wait. Also gotta go to NZ, as I spent almost a yr there too. (My mum used to call me a gypsy!) All the very best to the three of you. |
| 2nd March 2007 Eggs on Legs | How nice! - From: A good old Scottish Wedding! To last commentor...... thanks for your wee note - that was nice. We should be publishing a blog soon featuring our little mini egg 'Beth' who was born on the 23rd Jan - 4 weeks early! It'll probably be from either Knutsford or Manchester where Alan is working at the moment so we spend a bit of time down there. Hope you have a great time in Aus - we cannot wit to go back again and have been poking our pal Paula to get her man down the aisle to give us an early reason to travel there again! Byeee! x |
| 2nd March 2007 anonymous | - From: A good old Scottish Wedding! I loved reading your blogs and still keep checking if there are anymore posts. Actually waiting to hear about the birth of mini egg! Hopefully we'll see a few pics. Sure miss the humour/wit that was so distinctive to you guys. By the way, I'm the one who commented on "Geraldton" way back when. It sounds like you were right. The place is dead now. I am going to Oz within the next year or so and am going to make a point of heading over to the west coast and up to Geraldton just to see how things have changed. Should be interesting! Take care. |
| 17th October 2006 Berny | Bra Fence - From: No Bungy Bra Fence was started in 1999. 4 women put their bras on it. Over the years many other bras were added and it became abig tourist attraction. This year, Queenstown and Lakes District Council decided it was a hazard and so the bras have all been removed. A local woman, Celia Williams is writing a book about it to raise money for breast cancer research. |

| 8th August 2006 Occasionally Bob | Doing a Beckham - From: A different kind of journey...... Congrats guys! Just a thought... 12 weeks and 4 days ago your blog was from "Honkers". I don't know what anyone else thinks, but I think Honkers McCabe has a ring to it. I also notice that you begin that particular blog by saying "it was the most active you'd been in months". Say no more! Best to you both, Bob & Vik. |
