I'm back having travelled 1400 miles since we left last saturday and there 
were over 1500 posts, so i marked a lot read after reading a few that looked 
more 'vital ' than others. Hope Noreen is well and back in touch soon, and 
hugs for oTTo n Kat. love to all that needed it while we were gone. Many 
presents on the table including edinburgh rock, haggis, oatcakes, and my 
favourite, huge chunks of the peace and calm of the wonderful Scottish 
Highlands.

Welcome home, jackie :-)
Hope you had a great time.

Pressies? Well, I think I'm attracted to those huge chunks of the peace and 
calm of the wonderful Scottish
 Highlands. Yes, I'll have one of those, please :-)

I should hope it wasn't fresh otherwise you would have been poaching and 
hung, drawn and quartered and then run out the country :-). The Haggis Hunt 
season doesn't start till November http://haggishunt.scotsman.com/ :-)

They were probably selling factory farm bred Haggis which is nothing like 
the wild variety. For starters the factory bred ones have four legs the same 
size ;-)

I used to do thatkind of milage in an average 5 day week. Admutedly I was a 
dispatch courier in those days. I was all over the place ina single day. 
Then afterwards go to my evening job as a delivery driver for a local 
chinese take-away.
