Out and About
To avoid the frustration of finding blogger won’t post my
photos with dialogue I’m doing then separately (hopefully). Bear withJ
#1 The Isle of Arran – Scotland – MTL with his ever
present yellow rucksack.
#2 A village on Arran ? Corrie? Goat Fell in background.
#3 Two charming Arran
residents.
#6 Outside our cottage in Farnhill Yorkshire. The other half of the village is Kildwick and
you can see Kildwick church top left.
Round the corner was the village shop and P.O. alas no more) with whom we shared a back yard. The cottage had a stone roof. Behind the wall
is the Leeds / Liverpool
Canal and it was amusing
to see disembodied heads floating past.
#7 I thought this old kettle which I found on Bossington
beach - Somerset
had a certain charm, but was discouraged from taking it home.
#8 MTL at Bossington.
#9 Greece
– possibly Ithaca
– oh why didn’t I label everything? Note
the famous Greek light.
#10 MTL –Ithaca
with yellow rucksack.
Sorry I slightly beheaded MTL whilst scanning. Emended photo lower down.

I'm fairly sure when I mentioned I was heading to Arran for a brief weekend away with Maggie a few years ago, you asked me to look out for your lost shoe. Unfortunately I didn't find it...
KIM: some friends had the same task as you and brought me back a stone they found - perfectly shaped like an old fashioned boot. I still have it.
#7 and #8 look like they were ripped from the pages from a J. Crew catalog. Once a model...
I hope to visit Arran one day. It looks lovely!
What beautiful country that is. Maybe one day we too could come to stay. And yes, he looked good with and without a head. :)
We are heading up that way in the Autumn - never been to Arran but it looks fabulous. Will keep eye out for shoe
Beautiful memories, Pat.

Exile: J. crew?
Marjolein: you should definitely.
Mage: there are so many places in the UK you would love I'm sure. Scotland is so romantic.
Rog: thank you. It's white kid with a low heel and covered in small holes.
Scarlet: yes and they are a comfort.
LOVELY, LOVELY, LOVELY.....Beautiful country; Beautiful People---Gorgeous Couple...! So great to see all these pictures, desr Pat.
J.Crew is a Clothing store here in the states--A Sporty Type and Sophisticated, too, just like you and your dear dear MTL!
Beautiful ! The scenery and you and your MTL.
Love Love Love the shoe story ! and one day someone will find it !
cheers, parsnip
Naomi: thanks for the info:)
Parsnip: promise you won't breathe a word but I fear the
remaining one has vanished in the mists of time.
I've heard that Scotland is breathtakingly beautiful.
Do you think a goat ate your lost shoe that's why it can't be found now?
Now I'm curious about Billy Connolly with his mad eyes, to google I go.
GG: Billy Connolly's mad eyes are just my opinion - seeing him up close - and about 20 odd years ago.
Has Billy Connolly got mad eyes? Saw him once do a stand up show and he was so funny. He's a great actor too.
Love all the memories you've shared with us. Beautiful places and beautiful people.
Joey: this was in the eighties I think. He cane striding past us on the ferry and - to my mind had mad piercing eyes.
I agree he can be hysterically funny. Sadly I don't feel I can repeat one of his funniest jokes to do with parking his bike.
Lovely pictures, although I always thought goats had a good sense of balance.
Rashbre: ha ha! It took a while but I got there in the end:)
