Many years ago we had friends that moved to Devon (Newton Abbott). Within 6 months we went to visit them and they were calling us Grockles :rolleyes:

I think I can beat that. When I was a much younger man, one of our friends visited America on holiday. I think it was when Freddie Laker had just started. He came back after a fortnight with a full blown American accent 😁

I hope you are ok after yesterdays episode Mo........you had me and MrsD worried.
The old body is feeling it a bit.......even the ankles are a wee bit sore with all the clambering. At least it's ticked off the list of things to do.

Was really quite nippy on the morning walk. I should have worn long sleeves I think. Looks like being lovely later.....not too hot for us.

I do hope that Mo hasn't gone back to get the faceplate number off the Trig point just to keep @classic33 happy
Think someone has stolen it anyway. Just checked back Strava to a local guy I follow and he had a pic of the top of it and it looks like it's been removed.

Being stuck inside yesterday it didn't bother me but it was dull and overcast all day-not a bit like we were promised.
Today started bright but once again its clouding over.
Just trying to get my "get up and go" in order then work will commence.
Honest
I promise
Really
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

A similar thing happened to a colleague from work 30 years ago.
He chucked the job in and went to Australia for two years. When he came back he sounded like Crocodile Dundee, even wearing the bush hat with corks on around the local area.😂

Very sinister. Passed this morning by two small convoys just before 8 oclock. They consisted of a total of 7 large people carriers of the minibus type. One dark grey and the rest black and all with blacked out windows. Perhaps a tory minister “ doing” Scotland again like the chancellor who did Bute the other day and bumped several local cars off the ferry to get on with his entourage.
Nice day tho’ with enough wind to keep the midges down.
