Talked to Mark N today he told me Peter Bridges had died and funeral would be next Friday so he will be out for old blokes coffee. 
Saturday 30
Cleared email and Robyn worked on Bundy report. Then we brought on weaners and cull cows. We sort and weighed weaners and tagged heifers as they are the ones we can keep with new bull. When we were do we came back to see 2 cows had jump out. The ones that had jumped the fence for Nuck and I last weekend. Really annoying. Robyn and I trying to get them back in eventually they jumped back into the paddock with the weaners. I set a quad lock up in the yard to hold my phone while we weight the cattle. Worked well.

Sunday 20 Started the day with a visit to Kelpies on the North East of Falkirk. These huge art installation of two houses heads represent images of the Scottish mythical beast the Kelpie a water creature that looks like a horse. Very impressive. 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 ...
