In the afternoon I set the fire pump up to pump to the high tank. Pumps about a sheet in 2 hours. Put the cows back on the driveway in the afternoon.

One way value on the way to the top tank jammed and all the water ran back. Fixed it pretty easy and pump with bore again. When to see Russell Robinson an opal miner we met on the bike tour earlier in the year. He lives at Proston. Nice day and top visit. Got home to check pump. In 5 hours bore had pumped most of one sheet. Micheal was well underway with the planting. Went to Ironpot Hall Christmas party. They did not have a Danta so because I was wearing my Christmas shirt I got the hand out presents to the kids good night too much good. Got home about 10pm.

More driving in the beautiful Scottish countryside to our breakfast spot Tinto Hills Tearooms near Thankerton. Here I met a motorcyclist enjoying a ride and a Sunday morning coffee. Really think I need to come back and ride here. Next we visited Hadrain's wall or the ruins of part of it. It was the Romans Defence line across English to keep the Scots out. Originally 4 metres high what we saw was part of the foundations. The view of the English countryside was picturebook idyllic.

The site were three houses were destroyed and 11 people on the ground killed is now a reflective garden. The momentum ...
