Two Old Trouts

The highlight of the annual Hill-Walking Club AGM is Andy’s report on the club’s outings during the past year. He accompanies his report with a slideshow of photos from all the outings, which really brings back memories. This year, because of Covid, his report covered the first three months of 2020 and then the last eight months of 2021. It was good to see the Andersons well represented at various mountain locations around Scotland. My favourite comment was when Andy showed a photo of Iris and me sitting beside a loch in the Trossachs, with a large sculpture of a fish behind us, reflected perfectly in the still water. Andy said, “Here are two old trouts!” and then after a pause for much laughter, “No, one of them is a reflection.” I thought that this was very funny. 

The AGM went well, and Ally was applauded in absentia for completing his Munros last summer. He was also thanked for rewriting the club’s constitution. I felt very proud.
