Sorry Gareth, slander, politics and religion are banned topics.

On a serious note though (on this thread?)at least I get second breakfast on the journey North and I would just love to see how a distillery functions and are Haggis still in season?

Drumlemble here I come.

When it`s dry and bright in Scotland it`s a bonus. Hope to find some willing wildlife to shoot. Woke up one morning on Skye to find everything was very white but then Mrs Cedric had a Jimney then so no sweat! Just hope that the Gulf Stream is still streaming.

Wow! terrific stuff. thanks for the link.

Thanks Gwyn, just be nice to have a break. Had some cracking times on both Skye and Mull.

This time next week we will be on the Kintyre Peninsular. Two weeks hols, wooohooo!

Oops! run out of whiskey. Major cock up on the catering front. Getting ready for the hols and found 2 nails in one of Mrs Cedric`s car tyres and missed the supermarket.

Gareth! how can you say such a thing. Just `cos no one has mentioned alcohol doesn`t mean a jump in tea bags sales.

Me, I`m letting me tea go down then some Grouse. Got to keep a little coherent as me new sister is due on the old dog & bone.

Enfield India it is. Bullet 65, 500cc of vibrating ironmongery. Bought it new in 2003. I wanted GSX 750 until - my son came past me on a GSXR600 and made it look like I was stationary and I really really wasn`t. He parked in a layby and I eventually caught up where he threw the keys over with "Give this a try Dad." The sudden realisation that his Dad`s reactions were not what they were and the moment passed.

So the Bullet 65, magic black paint job, chrome mudguards, Avon boots, Amal carbatooter and sports blowzaust. Slow enough to watch the world going by and fast enough for the A14. A few other nice bits from Mr Hitchcock and it`s going strong. It`s the fun of riding and being able to mess around with plugs, points and valve clearances and it helped the Indian economy. Same tooling that was in Redditch in the 40`s unlike the newer Enfields that have succumbed to modern emissions and stuff. Oops better stop now. This just isn`t pointless!!!!

Had the old Enfield out yesterday. One firing stroke every lamp post.

Rain threatened today so it was the car. 10 years old and still under 7000kms on the clock. It`s great fun to ride and turns all the old boys heads when they hear it. Can almost see a glimmer of recognition come over them.
