I'm off to Pleasanton tomorrow with Helen to attend the Highland Games up there. IT'll be grrreat!
What's really interesting for me is that the group that organizes the games has a membership of which 50% were born in Scotland. Compared to the North County Scots, of which Helen and I are approximately 50% of the Scottish born, the numbers are high. I'm looking forward to being surrounded by real Scottish accents again - one of the things I miss from 'back home'. It will be fun to watch the piping competitions and the pipe band championships, which will include a couple of bands from Scotland.
I'll hopefully be able to post pictures here or somewhere I can link to so you can see what fun we'll be having :-)
Och aye the noo!
