Scottish Visit

[kev]

Me and my father Just got back from Scotland and had a terrific time, just want to thank all the lads and ladies who looked after us over there and did we get looked after, it unfourtunatly was only a short visit but please god it wont be the last.

 

First up we stopped off in Clackmannon to call in on Frank (dooman) Baille and his lovely wife carol (Carol always had a soft spot for me but dont say anything to Frank) we had lunch and seen all the doos and even got out of eating Franks sausage rolls, thanks very much pal it was great seeing you both and I hope the summer goes well and the lads get back safe and sound.

Off then to Dundee and John Duthies house where we would spend the night, its unbeliveable to think that although I have met John on a couple of occaisions and got on great with him he invited what to him and his wife, the absoultly amazing Christine would have been 2 strangers to stay in their house but as soon as we arrived we were made feel right at home, fed with the best dinner I have had in years including a wee bit of haggis and shown some of the best birds I have ever handled, after breakfast another feast we headed up to see Andy Thompsons set up. Himself and Billy where hard at it cleaning out and Andy showed me around the lofts and we where then brought in for more tea and choclate biscuits. On the way back to catch the boat we dropped in to Jim Cullens house and again even though Jim had quite a bit on his plate at the time we where shown all the birds (an amazing loft of distance pigeons every bird a cracker) and his wife Jean cooked a beautiful meal for us, again we were made feel compleatly relaxed,the only trouble with the trip was it was too short but the hospitallity we were shown was second to none, everyone we met treated us like long lost freinds and looked after my dad, who hasnt been well of late like their own.

 

Thanks again folks and god bless you.

I hope so Mick, but I dont want to spoil him ;)

 

Funny enough Gareth we had left my house at 4.30am and arrived at Johns house around 4pm, so after the food and the hour out the back we were only fit for the bed and i had the same drive in front of me the next day but it wasnt for the want of being asked.
