trip tae ra seaside

Went to Culzean castle today (Ayrshire Coast) on our classes annual
outing.

Like all teachers I hate trips. Just one thing goes wrong it could be
the end of my career. So it should be no surprise to you to hear I was
listening to the radio news at 4 this morning. Shattered and dreading
it we set off this morning in glorious and unseasonal sunshine ( which
is forecast to end tomorrow) Our rout took us over the moorlands close
to the earliest recorded battle site of Wallace, Loudoun hill

You know that show Jeopardy you American's have.... where you are given
the answer and you have to guess the question? Here are some of the
questions I had to answer on the way....

" No Rebecca, we are not on England yet"
"No Rebecca, Ayr is not in England"
"No Kellyann that's a field not a plain"
"No Kellyann those are cows, not a herd of wild bison"

Had a terrific day. Loved the tour around the castle. I learned so much
because the tour was guided. The kids were terrific and we all had a
fantastic day. Now my feet are killing me.
