an overnight stay anywhere in Killie would be unthinkable, bad enough having a bevvy there. What time are you lot meeting? I have a very busy day in front of me on Saturday, doing my D.O.C. in afternoon, plus toastmaster at meal in the evening. Will drop in if possible for a wee while for a dram or three. Plenty buses out of Killie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Billy. |

I would think about 3-ish Billy. Hope you can get there with your Pensioner Pass.  It's only a wee bit from the bus station.

Whilst it's terribly bad form to post directly after oneself on a consistent basis, can I just point out to the country defeated everywhere else apart from Bannockburn that I plan to invade at around noon tomorrow. Please don't stand on the jetty throwing porridge and haggis as it's not an effective form of warfare nowadays.

Kilmarnock to Scunthorpe non-stop in 3hrs 40 minutes this morning. Many thanks to John for putting me up and also to Diedre, Michael and Darren in Northern Ireland. I suppose I'd also better mention my gratitude to Chris for keeping his hands to himself in Galway.......
Pictures to follow......

Rich,
You are extremely welcome, really glad that you had a good trip and made it home safely. You are welcome back anytime( that is official from herself). I seriously enjoyed myself. Standing in pouring rain, drinking beer and not catching fish are becoming CFF traditions for me.

North-of-the-border time was limited to the fishing trip with Michael and his grandson but next visit I'll try and work in some time to say hello to you. I understand you tie a mean fly...................

I made it home safely despite two nights at Black's Bar in Kilmarnock. Pictures of John, Billy and me as well as a modern day General Custer will be along in due course.
Meanwhile here's a selection of pictures from our couple of days.
On the conveyor belt tonight!
Your "Big Jim"
Your house.
A Fox Polaris. Shrunken head lure fishing at its best.
The overnight accommodation.....
A fossil-fish.
Darren and me making running repairs.
A Fish.
Darren's 10lb 6oz PB Pike with a helping hand for the camera! "It'll jag me Richard!"
"The River" by fossil-fish.
Thanks again Michael. I had a smashing time, rain included old son!
