Good to meet you too, Dave. We got Brian's sunroof sorted and mine just needs a new relay (robbed one from Brian's car to test it). Richard is nothing if not tenacious! I'll owe him a whole night at the bar at the next meet! Top bloke.
 You missed David, but John also fixed a problem with the boot strut cover on his car. And we got some photos - no doubt Connor will be posting them shortly.

What a great day and terrific company. Many thanks to The Laird and Lady of the house for allowing us the privilege of a guided tour of the castle and grounds. Also many thanks for the food and beverages although spit roasted hog was a little OTT for a lunch time snack.
Sadly we were not allowed to take photographs of the castle so here are a few of the cars parked in front of the butlers quarters      Finally a reflection of The Lairds flora and fauna

The Librarian is not amused!
I've only ever handed out one Librarians's disapprobation. However I think several are justified here; and for senior members too!
Jim - allowing his thread to turn smutty. 47p2 - where do I start! Amanda - mentioning 50 shades of grey. Everyone knows there is only one shade of grey, battleship grey. The rest are pale imitations (except for the darker imitations). Richard - for not having the balls for REAL innuendo. And a commendation: Brian - for having to explain the joke to Connor.

While the reflection of the flora is nice, the refection of the shadow of a man doing something which I doubt is tasteful in a Lairds grounds is just maintaining my disapprobation!
