312 miles - set off at some un-Godly hour to drive from Chesterfield to Fife, Scotland to watch football! Trish likes the journeys but thinks the idea is crazy. Anyway, we are here now! Prior to the match we walked around the town - NOT Scotland's biggest attraction. Anyway, 2:30pm and I arrive at the ground ready for the match. One stand is fairly ...

... me, or found me really pitiful because they came back and told me it was fixable and I would not have to pay for it (incident #4).

Not only did I not have to pay for it, but they also gave us a free shuttle ride (incident # 5) back to the old course. I'm telling you, NICEST people in the world. We got to the old course, did a bit of sketching, but then the rain started to fall. Luckily, we had finished our round and the day went off without any other hitches.

... the streets... it seemed like many of the buildings were home to divisions of pretentious university courses - moral philosophy/classics, that sort of thing. Definitely no sports science department :( The castle claimed to be closed - despite this there were people in there, but it ...

... hope that this will serve as a record of our travels and will also help to keep us in touch with friends and family.
I should be uploading photographs to accompany this but at this stage I am unwilling to share the shambles that we are surrounded by! Piles of clothes and shoes - many of which I know that I will have to discard!
Our plans are almost ...

Hi All - have just set this blog site up in an attempt to make it easy to keep in touch with everyone while we are away this winter. I can't believe that its less than two months until we go - so much still to do (and soooooo much money still to save!!) I can't wait though - each day I read more of one of our travel books and dream of the places we will see. Of ...

So alot of you want photos...and I want to deliver on that becuase I am a photo maniac and I like to look at myself too. (joking. sorta.) I could upload them here, but currently I have about 900+ photos, unorganized, on various cards and little time left to take many many many more photos for you of london, rome, and germany. I should have them online ...

... kann man dort das leckere traditionelle schottische Dessert bekommen, dessen Namen gesucht wird. Tipp:Eine ganz typisch schottische Zutat wird zur Zubereitung des Desserts benötigt und der Name ähnelt dem eines deutschen Malers. Wenn du den Namen hast,notiere dir bitte den 3. Buchstaben. Er ist der 4. Buchstabe der Gesamtlösungwortgruppe!

... after a "full Scottish breakfast", full is what you are once you have finished. Actually, you finish, not the breakfast which seems to go on forever :) A casual stroll to get newspapers to read in the beautiful grounds of the Hotel and then about lunchtime, checked out and drove to Edniburgh over the Firth Of Forth Bridge (quite an engineering wonder). Everything went very smoothly and we made up more time than expected, arriving early at Edinburgh Airport where ...

... had lots of artifacts from ancient Scotland, including lots of stuff from the Jacobite uprisings, which is quite interesting to me because of what Colby calls my "******" Outlander novels - whatevs. The next morning we bought a ticket for one of the hop-on-hop-off buses that includes a guided tour of the city. After driving by the spot where they used to behead people and a tower overlooking a graveyard (to prevent body snatchings) we got off at ...

... I don't think I would want to work with only her for too long...we can't really interact with the community, and each time it's really stressful for both of us. I realize that the stress will decrease as we get more comfortable with each other and I with the situation, but the amount of interaction she wants is very little, and without going into too much detail, it's not something that is going to change much. And as much as I enjoy ...
