Had a good day. Just about managed to make it home in time to have something to eat before I had to go out again. Josef that gin is very palatable to say I never touch the stuff myself.

Just wanted to thank everybody for a great day.

Good weather, very informative walk and talk. The burgh halls secret room of beams was just brilliant. Good laugh and great company.

Got me hooked, sorry guy's but I'll be joining you on a few others it's addictive.
