A wonderful night as part of a great weekend. Sunday came and John the English Bloke was feeling a little fragile. So much so that Niall offered to drive us to Caerlaverock Castle. Niall also offered life sustaining spring water which allowed me to remain alive at least until dinner time. 
Me an' Emma at the drawbridge. (Note, life sustaining water clutched in my trembling hand. This expression is called my brave face.) 
Sandra and Paul. 
Alfredo and Vicente 
Emma and Çağman (Keep the noise down, John's got a headache!) 
It was flippin' FREEZIN' 
Paul and Vicente

So later that same night, the crowd was thining out but some of us were left still. We had a lovely Pub meal and a few gentle pints and then retired back to Ferintosh for more coversation and fine Scottish wines... 
Rabbie an' us. 
Three of us outside Anderson Kilts...

Good to see the Caerlaverock pictures, wish I could have been there too but Adam and I were out in the forest modelling the Che Burns T shirts.
