Here (Christine and Paul’s in Amersham) we sit in nervous trepidation… 3 days ‘til we leave for Egypt, and there is definitely an element within us that is wondering what the hell we’re doing! Ha ha ha. We’re looking forward to it… but the last few weeks of cushy, overfed living in Edinburgh has made us perhaps a little ‘too’ comfortable…? These past weeks have had us enjoying t...

View from hill in L's "backyard"

Edinburgh Castle (on left) and Arthur's Seat (on right), 20 miles away from L's house.

L's house

At the bottom of the pict is L's house--only the left side of the structure.

At the top

The friendly haggis at the top of the hill took our picture...

The way down..."redneck zorbing"

When Lachlan was little, he would throw himself down the hill "because it was faster". He's tried it again 20 years later...

Look out for...

He made me do it too--"what about rocks?" "There are no rocks in the heather." Maybe not, but there's still sheep poo...

Ha HA!

T, these picts are for you! I can hear you giggling away (I miss that laugh!)at these and we knew you would be up there with us throwing yourself down!

Castle ruins by L's house

Took mom and dad on a hilly walk to these leftovers. It was worth it, right mom?? :)

Mom's opinion

Hmmm...I think she's flipping me off...???

Taking the road less traveled

Especially when she learns that this is the way back! :)

Dad and I

No complaints from Dad. I think he was enjoying the countryside.

I am not please with any of you! You are soaking up all the fun and good times. First you two left for your trip round the world in 280days (give or take a week). Then because you left Mom and Dad leave for a week to visit. Leaving Jane and I with the dog, and me being the only one out of our family in this country. THAT WAS A LITTLE WEIRD! Next time you guys plan on leaving I want more notice in advance so I can save up and come with you. :-p -Disgruntled Family Member
