Stephen it looks lovely, but there are only 2 of us.

Maybe if we could get everyone together we could have our own meet, but it is a long way from those of us who live in the south unfortunately

Still I can dream.

I have added it to my favourites, incase I get a chance or the whole family can get away together

Linda :o) XxX

PS NONE of the lost property belongs to me !!!!

TIR-NAN-OG

Delightful is the land beyond all dreams,
Fairer than anything your eyes have ever seen,
There all the year the fruit is on the tree,
And all the year the bloom is on the flower

There with wild honey drip the forest trees;
The stores of wine and mead will never fail,
Nor pain nor sickness knows the dweller there,
Death and decay come near him never more

You will have horses of the fairy breed,
You will have hounds that can outrun the wind,
A hundred chiefs will follow you in war,
A hundred maidens will sing you to your sleep

A crown of sovereignty your brow shall wear,
And by your side a magic blade shall hang,
And you will be Lord of all the Land of Youth
And the lord of Niamh of the Head of Gold



*Niamh was the daughter of the King of the Land of Youth. She had Golden hair.


Stephen

Good Morning
Well where are you all?
Stephen has taken his yatch back along the coast and the girls are on the train. But I can't see anyone up and about yet.
Jean I hope you feel better today. Do you get Monday of as it is a Bank Holiday? I hope so.
Liz if you look in tonight I hope the wedding went well.
Marilyn are you back home yet? Not too tired out I hope.
Rita I hope you have a nice day today and are fully recovered from the scan, thinking of your grand daughter.
Mo how many cardigans does your little one have waiting for them?
Shelly are you still researching? Schools will soon be back won't they? Are your daughter and grandson back yet, you really are missing them aren't you?

Yvonne and Pauline I hope you are both enjoying the weekend.

Sue is still absent from here, but I do see her on Facebook.

Elizabeth seems to be away too.

Have I forgotten anyone? If so I'm sorry

Have a good day. Not sure what I am doing?


Linda :o) XxX

evening all

i wounder how liz got on to day with the wedding do hope she had a good time and every think went well

hope she save us some wedding cake

Hi everyone, oh dear it sounds like I missed a really good trip. maybe next time I will make it, [if there is a next time].
Stephen, you must be a very brave man allowing this lot on your yatch, hope they left it clean and tidy.
Hope the wedding went off without any problems, it isn't nice when someones special day is spoiled is it.
It was so good this morning not to have to get up early and go to Christies, have had a very lazy day.
No hangovers I hope girls, but at least you have the rest of the weekend to recover.
Take care and stay well.
Jean xx

Hi Mo

Stephen has given us a good laugh dont you think ? I bet he writes stories. and has them published come on Stephen what book are they in . Lol

Mo I wonder where all the others are. ? I hope Jean is alright. ?

we have missing Yvonne. Liz, (maybe at that wedding ?) and Elziabeth off course Sue as well..

I am off now to get myself a cup of tea. I washed my hair a little while ago.
and sat and watched a film.
Mo
my Pie was crinkled around the edges with a crickler it belong to my Dad he use in in 1924 so you can see it is very old and is made of brass.he had it when he was an apprentice to a baker that was what he was going to do.but changed jobs.
I still have all my icing and bread making tools I had when I went to Ealing College for bakery course in 1968 along with the books. I did cake making and icing, course and bakery
they are still in good condition.

Rita

Oh my god, where did this fish come from. Yuk whose teeth are these.
Rita, next time you make a pie, make sure you dont use your teeth to crimp the edges.
Oooooh my head hurts, Pauline have you got any headache tablets.
Where are we, I remember us going in the pub, and Marilyn was chatting to a trawler man, next thing I am on this train. How did we get here,who put us on the train.
I like your hat Yvonne, where did you buy it.
Linda I've ruined my stockings, can you knit me a new pair.
Oh god I feel awful, Shelly you were supposed to looking after us,you being the baby of the family.
But I blame Stephen, he should not have given us those doubles, we were as high as a kite before we even stepped ashore.
Oooooh cripes wheres Jean have we left her behind, come on Marilyn we have got to search this train, and find her. Perhaps she was ashamed of us, and is with Rita, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>come on girls.

?
They are still living it up. someone sneaked some malt whisky. I wonder who.?
The teeth were not mind I have mine. I wonder where the other's have got too. ?

Is Liz attending that wedding today ? if so I hope she is OK and the weather sunny as it is here.
I cannot wait to hear all about it and what she got up to and her OH.

I seem to be on here on my own this afternoon except for you.
The trip was too much for them.

I have been busy made a small chicken pie for my dinner and did a mince beef casserol to freeze. Watching all these cookery programmes makes me want to do things I have not done for a long time.

I vacumed the flat as well. I have those great big spiders again they shoot across the carpet like the devil is after them I am to.

I am going to wash my hair now and sort some of my Autobiography out ready to type out tomorrow I have not done any of it for four or five months I have it written out but not typed. so have made my mind up to start doing it again. I am not getting any younger. I have done quiet a lot already.

have a good evening.

Rita.

Oooooooooh what happened? What are we doing on a train? I thought we were on a boat. I vaguely remember someone saying something about a granny, can't have been talking to me though - I'm only 27.

Did we see any of Scotland? And why is Mo asleep with a fish in one hand and a pair of false teeth in the other hand? Those teeth must belong to Jean because she hasn't got any in.

Is that Stephen's sporran on Yvonne's head? Bet Liz is glad she couldn't make the trip.

Not much point knitting us a fishing net now Linda - we're on a train home. I don't really think you should be hanging out of the window like that Marilyn, it's dangerous....*tuts*

Rita, come back in here, stop pretending you don't know us.

Shelly doesn't drink so when she wakes up she'll be able to tell us what happened.

Stephen

your right about those girls they are always like that when you take them anywhere.
They go over the top. Marilyn and Mo lead them on.. you must have sprinkled too much star dust about. you should have used Confetti instead. they would have stood out more then.
" Grab a Granny " I dont think the girls would let that happened too canny for that
I expect they didnt like being in the cells. they are making up for lost sleep now. your have to lock that Malt t away next time if there is a next time.or water it down.
I think you can give them Toast and tea and take them to the station. better tell the station master where they have to be put off as the state they were in they will have forgotten.
Me I am going in a carriage on my own. not mixing with that lot I have my reputation to think of.
I was not even drinking and got dragged along with them. I thought they were my f riends. ?

Rita

Morning all

Stephen I dont watch BB I dont like it but the others do.

Gay Gordons that brings back memories of New Year in Scotland and the guy in his kilt playing the accordian we had great fun. M.I.L carted the Haggis a round on a silver tray.the party was held in the North Star every table had bottles of whisky and lemonade the lemonade was free when you ordered whisky. it was getting home that cause a problem as the road where Mum lived had a tree growing out of the road its self and many of them hung onto that before going on to the house, there was also a big brass bell on the side of the road that got hugged and tapped on the way back to the house..
Many a head acked the next morning and for one day it was quiet.
Till the evening when it all started again.
.
Stephen none of the bra's the teeth or the knickers were mine or the handbag must be Mo's Marilyns , Shelly and Paulines they are always loseing things. you cannot take them anywhere without one of them forgetting something Marilyn once forgot her Husband Pete I am not sure he minded though ? Lol

well lets hope the weather stay good for the weekend and you all have a good one you have enjoyed a sail and the scenery of Scotland so away with you and have a good weekend.

Love
Rita

Linda,

They may have trouble getting here......read the following.

I went for the paper in Oban a n hour ago and was confronted with the headline,

'Yachtswomen batter Trawlermen'

I was shocked. Could it be our lot?

A quick read confirmed it was. And they were all in the local nick.

Hurried along to the Police Station where the desk Sargeant asked if I knew them. Of course I said yes!

He then told me the whole story......

The girls had gone into a local pub and ordered up double Malts.

Trawlermen in the place remarked 'Look lads it must be Grab a Granny Night'

That was it...they saw red. They invited the trawlermen outside for a 'Square Go'.

An eye witness said that one of them pulled a wee bag from her pocket and showered the ladies with some kind of dust.

Then it all started.

The turned into Nija Warriors. This was Kung Fu Fighting at its best.

High kicks, somersaults....the lot.

The Trawlermen didn't stand a chance. They eventually fled...whimpering like children.

The Police arrested them. They gave names like,'Tinkerbell' 'Mary Poppins' Fairy Godmother' etc. And all gave their address as Tir-nan-Og.

I agreed to stand Bail.

Out they came from the cells laughing like two year olds.

Hi, Stephen!, They said...Can we go to another Ceilidh tonight? That was great fun.!!!!!!

What am I to do with them?

They obviously have a taste for the Malt...I will need to try and wean them off of it.

Think I'll try them on Irn Bru...our other National Drink.

First of all....breakfast...then head for the train to get them home.

What will their folks think?

Morning everyone
Hope no=one has a sore hed today.
The sun is shining and it looks like we might finally have a nice day here.

Hubby has gone to work. So I might tackle some washing and clean the windows that I can reach.

Have a good day everyone

Linda :o) XXX

Last Man Standing!

Well, well, well.

Here's me thinking I'm going out with a real bunch of Party Animals and what do I find;

They sit and watch telly and there's a whole pile of handsome, brawny Scotsmen just waiting to grab them.

Kilts hanging just right, sporrans full of cash. Hair slicked back. Eyes twinkling.

How could you lovely English lassies turn down a chance like that?

Never mind! They deserve a wee rest. They have been great company the last two days.

I'm off to my bed. Hope to see them all tomorrow before they head off home.

I heard there was a bit of trouble in the town tonight. Probably those trawlermen again. They are always a problem.

stephen there all watching big brother

and iv been looking for the brinkman family

Where is everyone?

They should be finished dinner by now.

The dancing has started......Gay Gordons... to start with.

Hope they are not into the Malt Whisky again!

Shelly, Mo, lets get you two on the floor at least. You both look great. Just follow the couple in front of you.

I'll try and find the others.
