    Ha ha ha GG and beanie, that had me laughing out loud there ... Nearly woke my SU up lol

    I did relax last weekend ( when I couldn't walk) I spent the night on the verandah relaxing and chatting whilst listening to some tunes, even watched the sun come up ... It was glorious :)

    I'm thinking visit a beach, but I would like a kinda quiet beach that is sunny and secluded, chance of that happening are zilch I reckon ... Although Croy down at the Ayrshire coast is currently appealing to me, walk along the beach ( in my crocs) up to Culzean castle then go and see the electric brae again :)

    I am such a child at times, 40 year old and still love to see the electric brae lol

    Delurking here, couldn't resist when you mentioned the electric brae and Croy beach - haven't been to either in years!! No excuse really as I live in Troon. May just be on the cards for this weekend now lol.

    Enjoy!

    I'll do my best lol, but I always worry I'm 'intruding' on threads where there is a group of regular posters.

    Electric brae is fab! We always used to take visitors to see it. (Electric_Brae if anyone doesn't know what we're talking about).

    Will look out for you :wink: (though may end up spending my weekend in the fridge...I'm just not used to this kind of heat lol).

    Have a lovely weekend.

    you are doing anything but intruding honest :) it's great to have more friends join in, thats how we all met in the first place as well ... i would just barge on in on someones thread, then become a bad smell and not go away... till finally they get used to me and just think " oh it's just el " :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    i may join you in the fridge, just went out for the first time this week ( been nights) it's hot people ... very hot

    we used to take people to see the electric brae as well :D i still get very surprised when i speak to people and they havnt heard of it... i'm like hey its a wonder of the world !!!!!! ... know your heritage ( cause obviously Scotland's electric brae compares to the Grand Canyon :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)

    Makes you wonder though...is it someone I know????

    No ghosts but we didn't go inside, just wandered round gardens, had picnic, ate icecream and went to the bookshop. And discussed psychology - he's a strange child;)
