So I got a text about an hour ago to say that Jamie has arrived in Auckland and is waiting for his flight to Dunedin. It was lovely to hear from him. I have also been hearing from Ally and Cat who are having a brilliant time in Peru. They have visited Machu Picchu and sent us some amazing photos from the top, of Ally with a llama! This involved thirteen hours of nonstop walking up 46,6000 steps and 613 flights of stairs. They have had all sorts of adventures and are heading to Bolivia next.
And Davie and Chanel are in Liverpool visiting Chanel's Gran - not quite as far from home admittedly!
Meanwhile James and I spent today at the Ayr Air Show. It all started so well with dry weather and we sat in the beach on our deckchairs to watch beautiful views of the flying display over the sea. However the rain came on in the early afternoon and despite James' huge umbrella we ended up rather damp in parts. We are made of stern stuff though and stayed until the end of the show to see the Red Arrows display. A horrifically long queue awaited us at the station but luckily it moved quite fast and of course we had our trusty giant umbrella - unlike some people who looked absolutely drenched. We had parked our car at Barassie Station just ten minutes up the line so we were soon in our own transport which I prefer! (I don't have anything in particular against public transport except that it often goes wrong for me e.g. delays, cancellations, strange people accosting me). We then had an excellent dinner in the Cochrane Inn where I have had dinner with Christine a couple of times. Lovely day.
