Polished Anna's car and washed 500 before church in Bell. Trevor preached and had Communion.  Dad did not come. He was feeling a bit seedy after yesterday's party. Came home for lunch and a big nap. Anna and I moved the camera at the dairy to see if we could get it closer to the road to recognise cars approaching. Pumped water to tank at the other place.

Washed the scooter and yellow quad before breakfast. Robyn worked through a big wash. After breakfast we packed up Boonie Doon and put her in the truck shed. I did Anna's bookwork Robyn pack up the Christmas tree. After lunch I washed Explorer 1 and sorted the quad lock mount. I brought Ex 2 down and it started to rain. Storms about but we had drizzle. In a late afternoon break Anna and I mounted a camera on the windmill and took down the Christmas lights at the gate.

Robyn and Anna started out early. Anna is on her way. She dropped Robyn at Wendy's to pick up Pegs car and bring ot back to Julie's. I had breakfast with dad, washed Ex2 and then took bins to the dump and picked up a new gas bottle on the way to pick up Robyn. When we got home we washed up and then went to Kingaroy. We took in yellow quad seat and did shopping. We had lunch at the mall. We were home by 2.30. Packed stuff to go to Mackay. Robyn cooked some biscuits for dad to have while we were away. Pumped water over the last few days so all the tanks were full.

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. Next we went to Lockerbie to see and reflect on the event of the Lockerbie bombing where a bombed PanAm jet literally fell out of the sky in 1988. The site were three houses were destroyed and 11 people on the ground killed is now a reflective garden. The momentum ...
