Another nice weekend in Scotland, this time up in Stranraer. We ended the weekend well by winning the I’Anson Cup for the second time in three years. The trophy is massive, the FA cup of curling! Thanks to Phil Barton’s sister Ann for the pictures — for once we didn’t take a camera with us! On the way back we drove through some very scenic countryside, lots of sheep and a marvellous view of Ailsa Craig, the little island where all curling stones come from. This is another posting from Glasgow Airport as well — this time with a laptop that Friedel’s borrowed from work. We’ve come into the wireless age!

We’re back….

The website is back, after a prolonged technical hiccup. The server crashed, which meant we were offline for about a month! Lots of pictures to come in the next few days, from Brussels and Madrid among other places. Tonight we’re writing this from Glasgow Airport, after a curling weekend at Greenacres. It was a fairly successful weekend — we won the Welsh International Bonspiel and are now heading home with plenty of whiskey as our prize.
