Tug of War -- Posted by prossers on Monday, May 29 2006

29th May 2006

We had the annual tug of war between Kingswood and Wotton.  Yet again lost by Kingswood.  Not very well supported this year, in part caused by the very strong likelihood of thunderous rain.  Actually the weather was not so bad, and the event was quite good fun, afterwards went around to George's, where we had a go on his go kart.  Pictures available now on this site.


Rosemary in France -- Posted by prossers on Friday, May 26 2006

22nd May - 26th May 2006

Rosemary departed to see her friend Jen who is/was living near Bergerac.  Think she had a good time, attending wine tasting in Bordeaux, visiting chateaux and bringing back some of the best croissants I have ever tasted.  They were Absolutely Bloody Marvellous.

During this period, I was invited over to a meal by John and Carol.  Taking pity on me. 

Pictures will be added to the site shortly, but don't expect to much from a disposable camera.


Edinburgh -- Posted by prossers on Tuesday, May 16 2006

Flew up to Edinburgh on Easyjet from Luton on Monday.  Thought I was not going to make it.  At the airport the boards showed the flight has cancelled.  Joined the long queue to find out what was happening, only to be told 15 minutes later that the information board had been telling porkies.

Arrived on time, in the pouring rain.

Left on Tuesday in the pouring rain.

In between not alot to mention, did not go to Petit Paris, did not go to Whistle Binkies, did not go to the Burke and Hare or the Western Bar. 

The good news is I will be there more in June.
