We’re back from our trip to Scotland and I’m in the process of gathering my notes and my thoughts so I can write up a few posts to tell you all about it.
Here’s a photo to be going on with: the boys joining in the table football line-up at the Scottish Football Museum in Hampden Park. Rory’s defensive posture needs some work.
If you are still enjoying my columns in the Lincolnshire Free Press, here are the two latest articles:
I’m getting in a pickle over pronunciation – my struggle with place names.
Stars of the future on the local stage – talking about our excellent local youth theatre provision.
As always, comments on the newspaper site are very welcome. You might want to add your own pronunciation slip-ups to the first one?
Some of the Welsh towns names are a bugger to pronounce too. Spelling and pronunciation went down different paths at some point!
I think you're right about the different paths.
It's years since I visited Wales: should go and try the names out. I used to be able to say that long village name, though incorrectly I'm sure!
Is that how Scottish football teams train? No wonder they never do well in the World Cup.
That occurred to me too but it's a sore point with Dougie so I kept schtum.
Love Rory's 'bored teenager' stance – one I recognise so well!
Actually he was having a good time but it was still morning so he seized the chance to be propped up!
This is a great photo, my son thinks it's very funny. I love the contrast between the two of them and the way they're standing.
Yup, Dad is keen to show off and look the part, son is 'meh'!
We loved our visit to Hampden! Great place to go and very well done, we thought. Look forward to reading more…
I've just written my post about Glasgow so you will be able to find out what we did 🙂
Rory looks very enthusiastic here! Just catching up, sorry for the blog commenting overload! 🙂 xx
