Today I'm happy about......

My gran's 100 today. Lovely day, only slightly marred by a telegram from Iain Duncan-Smith.

Congrats to Gran Mine (hopefully) achieves the same number in less than 12 months.

You know it'll be your fault, don't you?

She's a stubborn one. She'll make it if she wants to

Jeez. You manage to bat through a couple of World Wars and make it all the way to 100, and all you get to show for it is a check from DWP that no bugger's conning them out benefits and a telegram from Iain Duncan-Smith?????

Get Brenda on the case! Congrats to LGM's gran.

[Little Green Man]

To be fair she did also get a rather fine card from The Queen.

Oh, that's what I was worried about. Carry on, Gran.

aye - weather report today said it is awful today and tomorrow - then brightening up and warming up from wednesday onwards!

(that said - I am packing serious waterproofs!)

^ I was watching a pair of old farts mature riders on Staffordshire Services last Thursday. The weather weather was quite reasonable but they had so many layers of wollies and waterproofs on you'd have thunk they were going to the Arctic on a bad day.

Is it a real pilgrimage? In the sense of visiting holy places?

[thebish]

I am visiting many of the most famous sites of Christian Pilgrimage in Britain - which is (basically) a jaunt around the coastline of Great Britain (including Scotland, Ireland and Wales). Whether that makes it a "real pilgrimage" might be a matter of debate! (no indulgences will be purchased and I am not looking for any miraculous healing...)

OK, got it... You're looking for time off purgatory!

Seriously though.. That sounds like a great quest. Keep us in touch.

Wondered the same as I was only reading about it yesterday.

I'm a bit jealous. I have been to much of Scotland (even to Cape Wrath or as close as the car would go) but never got across to Mull and so missed Iona too.
