Friday 27th May.
Departed Aileen Chraggan Hotel around 9:30 and headed for the 'Scottish Antiques and Arts Centre at Doune', a rather large complex between Doune and Collander. Not really my cup of soup, nor Rosie's. On a scale of 1 to 10 antiques would be about 2.5 - 3 for both of us. And Art?...it would hardly make the scale at all.
Never mind...just 'cos we're interested in the old stuff as is up in the Orkneys doesn't mean we're interested in old stuff from 1910. Them's the breaks.
Morning tea here; but not for me...just a cuppa will do thanks.
Then on to Workhouse Kitchen Station at Stirling, arriving about 2:15 for lunch. Okay, I'm a bit peckish now; I'll have a bowl of soup (carrot and orange; surprisingly tasty,) and a couple of slices of toast.
While the others were eating I wandered about and bought myself a few beers from the 'Fallen Brewing Co.' called 'First Class Rendezvous Porter'.
Finally arrived at Charlie and Christine's at Ruh at around 4:15.
Repacked cars, transferring all of our gear into Jane and James' car, and set out for their place at Killbride, arriving about 6:00.
They've been gradually renovating their house over the last few years and have done a magnificent job; hardly recognisable as the Head Groom's quarters they started with.
Well done indeed.johnboy
