That Was A Weekend That Was

Well, OK, it started on Friday evening. Roncadora Press exhibition at A' the Airts in Sanquhar.

Mr Roncadora, Hugh Bryden


With readings by Roncadora Poets Hugh McMillan, Rab Wilson, Jean Atkin and Rebecca Sharp.

Saturday meant work in Ayr. My terrier had to battle an albatross.



Whilst they got to fire a cannon.

On Sunday, the Aston Hotel's fifth birthday party. First birthday party for a hotel I've ever been to. I was the Peter Pan Storyteller for the Moat Brae Trust, and didn't have to dress up.


On Sunday night, with six friends, a gourmet quiz night at a Dumfries restaurant, Hullabaloo. Three courses of locally-sourced food, a different wine with each course, and about 25 questions on each course. Rather unbelievably, we tied for first place and had to nominate one team-member to play the tie-break for us. The tie-break being to drink four different wines and identify the grape of each.

Three cheers for Kirsty! She wiped the floor with the Galloway Gourmand. Here she is, a little blurry.



And Monday was busy too.
