For those of you.........

.....that are wondering ; I am still upright and live and kicking (albeit feebly ! )
Just went AWOL for a while .......having joined up with this bunch of ruffianly vikings for a spot of mayhem up and down the west coast ;-O
However ,when you are 108 ,mayhem  isnt quite as easy as it perhaps once was ; never mind the effort of rowing a leaky old longboat:-O
So when camp was pitched on the shore at Innellan , with the intention of sailing up the Forth and Clyde canal to terrorise the good burghers of Bathgate the following day , I decided to jump ship and head home for a much needed hot bath !
For I knew that they would meet their match when they came up against the redoubtable Broon !!
