For those of you who we didn't stay with/invade, we are back from our trip to Scotland.

The trip was a great success, not least of all because we all coped with the flights okay - apart from a minor issue with Adam being ill on the approach into Bangkok airport but after both incidents, within about half an hour he was back to his usual self again - we were calling him Adam, the friendly ghost as he was more than just a little bit pale.

Although we didn't go to Scotland for the weather, we could have done with a touch less rain - it pretty much rained solidly for three weeks - wettest August since records began apparently!
