Had a great day out with the boys today in their Clios. We went to Loch Turret Dam just outside Crieff and not far from Glen Turret whisky Distillery. It was a beautiful sunny day and took some pics to share....unfortunately the camera must have had a slight blur on the lense so the pics aren't the best, but check them out and see what you think?


Clios at the car (http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/#) park. If you look just to the left of the blue Clio and upwards you can see the start of a small mountain we climbed for a stunning view.....nearly killed me though:o

Peter and Connor enjoy some football tennis umpired by Jay. Meanwhile Jamie and I played some frisbee and took pot shots with the scoped out .22 at some Irn Bru cans for fun. We collected them later to dispose of carefully at a later date to preserve the view of course!

Kids placing rocks that they had scribed their names onto at the top of the cairn. A kinda " we were here" thing:approve:

I wished the buck stopped here. I could use a few:D
I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it:biglaugh:
Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?:biglaugh:
Its hard to understand how a cemetary raised its burial costs and blamed it on the high cost of living!!:biglaugh:
