    Well there's somewhere local to me that has classes for last year advertised on it's website so I thought I'd pop in tomorrow and see if they are still doing them but if not I think I'll be up to the city so will let you know and we could maybe be classmates:p

    Also nipping down to library to look for a book... tried youtube last time but not with great success...:o

    Portencross pic is lovely ~ I haven't been there for ages so will have to visit this time :D

    Also loved the pic of the sea hollies (at least I think that's what they were?? :o)

    We had a Nardini's icecream yesterday ~ a double cone with honeycomb crunchie type icecream on one side & turkish delight on the other ~ it was absolutely gorgeous!! Soooo HOT in Largs though!! What's going on with this Scottish weather & there's not even many midges around either?! :j:rotfl:

    It's all down to the jet stream. Two years ago when we got continual rain and floods it was lying well to the south. This year its sticking like glue to the north!
