New Years Day

Lazy start to the year.. but I promise I don’t intend that to be my new years resolution.. No, I have plans to actually be lots more productive this year!

Anyway, Geocaching was the order of the day. Basically you go to a website and get the GPS co-ordinates of a site. Buried at the site is a box with trinkets in it (and a log book) and you take something out, and put something in.. sort of an international treasure hunt. Some of the sites are just interesting – and this one – the Drombeg Stone Circle was one of them. Not sure how old it is, but a good bit BC anyway that’s for sure.

The watery pit picture is of a Fulacht Fiadh – which is the Irish word for a cooking site. 318L of water can be boiled in 18 mins by chucking hot stones into the water.

At one of the other sites is a tribute to Henry Ford – as this is where he came from. I also put a pic of an incredibly noisey donkey up – not that you can see how noisey he is.

So great to catch up with these great people! Lorna and Mark now living in a house with a turret in Dundee.. so maybe see them over there – thanks to Morgan for organising everything, and looking forward to picking Graham and Myra up from ChCh airport in July!
