I've done some hill walking in Scotland (it's mountain climbing to this Florida girl), so I know how rough the terrain and weather can get. I don't have quite the record of no visits in 20 years. I went this past summer after an idiot smashed into the back of our van and I experiences strange headaches. No broken bones though.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698067676022598868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-27772481267546308372011-04-06T20:34:27.620-07:002011-04-06T20:34:27.620-07:00alas Sue .... too latealas Sue .... too lateDavid Macaulayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873439047946166820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-88678046110466318172011-04-06T20:27:09.408-07:002011-04-06T20:27:09.408-07:00David, your posts are keeping me sane through my j...David, your posts are keeping me sane through my journey through bullying, PLEASE do friends tomorrow, I could do with your quirky take on them!<br />And look! you've got a squillion followers now - deservedly so. <br />Casualty doesn't have much going for it.

Between times of taking my sons, my husband, and my parents there, I've been there a few times myself. I'm glad they are there when needed, but I'm also always glad to be able to walk away from them. :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865193802444007545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-12662997548768412642011-04-06T17:02:27.283-07:002011-04-06T17:02:27.283-07:00Wow you live life on the edge, don't you?
