I have to go up to Aberdeen tommorow, my nephew is becoming a priest, only going cause he's my nephew!

 

Monks are better - don’t they brew beer?

This picture somehow reminds me of a previous GMU rideout but in fact it is some arseholes on bikes, holding Taliban flags, gathering near the Friendship Gate crossing point in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border town of Chaman, Pakistan.

 

My mates UAZ at an old US Army site.

 

Shooting a movie in our neighborhood. A League of Their Own sequel. Girls baseball league during WWII. Antique cars lined the whole street. Probably looked for someplace with the cobblestone streets.

 

went up the "Tiger" chairlift at Glenshee a couple of days ago and took some photos, i walked up to the cafe with the green roof (left of photo) a few days earlier

view towards Braemar it's pretty high at the top although the photos don't really show it!

Had a run up to Glencoe yesterday, i absolutely love it there. i was going to stop off at my usual place for lunch (The Clachaig) but i decided to see what the Kings House Hotel looked like as it had been done up a few years ago, you can see it from the road, if your travelling from the south it's on the right just past Glencoe ski centre.
we stayed at the original hotel when we did the West Highland Way several years ago. It has been totally transformed now, they also have a bunkhouse which is £35.00 a night

i thought it would be, but it was boiling!

 

Couple of pics of Loch Tay today

 

Absolutely stunning, Dougie!

 

I took these photos a couple of days ago when our monsoon rains really got rolling. I've never seen a bloom on this particular cactus in all the years it has been in my front yard--nearly 20 years! I took a couple of photos that include the bloom but show the whole cactus so you can see the size of the cactus relative to the bloom. Plus it's always amazing to me how such a prickly, rugged plant can produce so beautiful and delicate a flower.

 

Hang onto that weather for the weekend please Dougie

 

supposed to be rain this week, cloudy next week, then sunny the week after!
Don't quote me though

 

“Who did you get rid of with that?”
“Loads of folk!”

 

Having a short break in the delightful old city of Durham. Happened upon an MG rally on Sunday at the cathedral.
