Day out...

 Taking my dad's old school clock to be mended..again. 

It got the sulks last year just before we went to NZ....and in March we were sidetracked by Pirate's problem....so it is now outside it's 3 year guarantee on the work. Still, it's not the first time it has been back to the clock man!! So I can't complain at having to pay this time.

While we were in Castle Douglas we had lunch with a friend, then posted a fleabay sale and a mooch around the shops.

Pirate had a rest after all that working and we kept our ride short...just 10km...keeping it in double figures!! We were lucky we didn't see too much traffic and it was a beautiful afternoon.

A willow Beltie bull...two years old now.....and the marker for National Cycle Route 7 by the information office.

Then just before we headed home in the car....


Just above the lorry driver's door is written "waste not, want not"

That is one gorgeous bull.

Rather strange inscription for a garbage truck, isn't it? That cow is wonderful. Glad Pirate is 'taking it easy'. I have a clock that needs to go to the shop. I went to wind it, and the key snapped something inside. The key turns but the clock doesn't wind.

Is the bull having to be held down with sandbags? He does look very windswept.

Cro, he has been built on a strong metal frame, which is pegged down with very large metal pegs...plus sandbags.

I like the willow Belted Galloway bull. I have a few pot ones.

That beastie is quite fearful looking. Glad he's not real.

That is a massive bull, reminds me of the sculptures in Morrinsville.

LOL, had to laugh about the inscription on the garbage truck.
