It's an apple tree. This one had bright red apples like the kind that tempted Snow White.
Ah! Thanks!

Scotland is so beautiful!
Thanks for sharing your small break.
Doesn't it just?I nice relaxing vacation sounds just perfect right now.
Alfie is very lucky to have such great parents.
I loved to poem too. I wish I had time to just stand and stare.
My Dad had his hip replacement surgery on Tuesday and got home yesterday. It seems to have gone well.
This morning I was up bright and early to go to see Peter's rugby match. They played really well although he did get a few sore knocks in the process.
I actually only ended up having one glass.
After dinner we watched T2 Trainspotting. Alan had been given this for Father's Day back in June but we hadn't found time to watch it. I love the original Trainspotting so this was going to have a lot to live up to.
it was great managing to watch to the end without either of us falling asleep. Achievement unlocked!
Seeing it's Scotland you are never too far from a castle!
A castle and a beach what more do you want?
Alfie had his first experience of sand beneath his paws!
How is he doing?
That's a rough sport. Not surprised he got a few "sore knocks".
Alan drank an entire bottle? (Minus one glass)
I've never seen Trainspotting. You know why? Neither do I.
Girls in bikinis.
Maybe that's just me.
How did he like that?
He seems to be doing well. Alan has popped round to see him this evening so I should have an update soon.
They don't have much protection just a mouth guard. Peter also wears a scrum cap which at least ensures his ears don't get ripped off! It makes me smile when I see the amount of protective gear that is worn for american football.
You should watch it. It is a really powerful film. It will give you a different perspective on Scotland.
Maybe it's just you.. the poor girls would get hypothermia! Never a pretty look!
You may have found out in that update but the internet was so slow I kept dozing off that I gave up at midnight! Before you say it no it wasn't just the Pinot Grigio! To answer your question Alfie seemed to quite enjoy his jaunt along the sands.
And yet... American football has so many injuries. I think they hit harder because of the gear. Then again... I've seen some pretty vicious hits in ruby and Australian football.
I want to! It's been on my list forever.
Ugh. It's been really horrible of late. Off and on. You just never know when it's going... to... s.l.o.w.... d..o..w..n...
It might be that the extra equipment gives a false sense of security. There was a study in the US where head injuries were reduced by 30% when players trained without helmets.
When you do come back and let me know what you think.
I'm glad it's not just me!
A princess and a fastpass to meet her.A castle and a beach what more do you want?
Excellent! Definitely seems to be quite happy there!Alfie had his first experience of sand beneath his paws!
I loved the sea creatures we saw in the rock pools in Tofino. The starfish were huge. I'll try posting a link to the Raasay site and you can judge if it looks similar.

You tell him, he'll maybe listen to you as a medical professional.

Might be a while.
No. I saw a thread on it a while back. Everyone's complaining.

We typically don't do that.
We I was comparing coasteering to tide pooling, I didn't know that coasteering actually got one INTO the water!
Coasteering looks fun, but.... COLD!!
Heh. I doubt it.
This really looks quite a lot like the area I live in. Just lovely!
I really love this photo. Alfie looks so engaged and in his element.
That was quite a lovely poem!
I am most definitely in the "too busy" camp these day.
And can't wait to take it down a notch, or 2, or 2,000 in 40 days when I get to Disney.
Your wife hits people?!
Your wife hits people?!
Obviously those who hadn't dozed off!
Vicious ones at that!
When we reached the end of the walk we stopped at a bench and Alfie enjoyed watching everyone passing by on the beach below.
they had no available tables. I asked about the vacant table in the corner that needed cleared.
This was Alfie's first experience of being in a coffee shop.
We did get him to settle for a bit but I think the sounds and smells were a bit over stimulating
The couple beside us decided to leave their bacon and I think Alfie found the smell a bit too much.
Well I drank coffee - Alan and Alfie don't drink it.
We chose one our favourites Chicken Tikka with some vegetable pakora.
The drive home was only about an hour and a half.
I always find bacon distracting too.The couple beside us decided to leave their bacon and I think Alfie found the smell a bit too much.
Definitely a lovely area to go for a walk.Alan headed out to a supermarket to pick up a few items including more dog food. I took Alfie out for another walk.
Always nice to drive some different roads to see the scenery! Looks like it was a nice, relaxing getaway for you!After a while I left the motorway in order to drive through some of the Stirlingshire villages. One of my planned roads was closed and there were some slow drivers but it was a bit more interesting than the motorway.
Looking at your pictures brought back lovely memories of my trip last year. I am really hoping to go again this coming July but I may need top pass sadly.
My granddaughters school class may get permission to go to Italy in March and I will get to chaperone. I can't do 2 Europe trips in one year. I should know by Christmas time. Either trip would be fantastic but Italy would be an awesome opportunity for my granddaughter.
Dogs just love people watching as much as people do.
Except they don't have to be discreet about it!
I've never taken any of our dogs in a store or shop.
Not surprised!
Alfie and I are the same, apparently.
Holy crap that looks good!
Squirrel. Riiiiiight about....
Pretty.
thLove the depth in that photo.
Must try this some day. Never had it. Actually have had very, very little Indian food.
Not bad.
