Some news about ThistleDown

Rex, it is good to know you are so hale and hardy. I promise to raise my next glass in your honor.

Jim...like you need an excuse to raise a glass??? LOL One of these days I'm going to stop thru Conyers and tip one with ye!

Rex...glad to hear things are looking positive. Thoughts and prayers are with you...my mother went thru a similar experience.

There are times Ali, that a full body net is not good enough! Ali if you can come, the wee stroll that Rex is suggesting is, in my view, THE walk in Scotland. Not well known, fantastic scenery, history(General Wade, Bonnie Prince Charlie), deer, eagles, grouse, Peregrine falcons, wild flowers, and when you are away from the sound of running water there is a silence that is almost painful. Well until the RAF do a fly past with a couple of jets at 200feet! You will be a very fortunate lassie to visit there and well, what better company would anyone need than, Rex!

Very fortunate indeed Jock! My heart is already there, I just need to preform a small miracle to get the rest of me there (and when I do, I'll somehow conquer the midges).

.... Anyone know a miracle worker? A Moses perhaps?

Rex,
I've never met you, but have always greatly appreciated your posts and am glad to hear that you're on the mend.
regards
Ken

Great to see that you are bouncing back! Rex, if you need anything just let me know - I am around the corner from you.

Many thanks, Bruce, but perhaps a meet halfway at the Mountain Shadow would be a help to both of us?

[ThistleDown]

You hear correctly Rex. Perhaps a full body net is in order?

No, that won't do at all. But Skin So Soft is not on the market just for your complexion, Ali. Except for your scalp that's a far better protector than any netting.

Thank you, Will. I was lying up there once and had a great grey transport come by right at eye level and close enough that the pilot gave me a wave. Then the sound hit.

We must not spread the word too widely about this 25 miles (more than 18, I think, Jock?) It's bad enough that the road has been used for a few moto-sport runs in recent years. That will keep the wildlife down if nothing else does.

What about Grant, he`d be a good if not better choice.
