More Ardnamurchan






In order of appearance, Fascadale, the hills above Fascadale, a rainbow near Fascadale, the view from Fascadale and Gay Pete coming out not to far from Fascadale! We did go further afield than Fascadale but I can't spell all those other Scottish places that we visited!

Ardnamurchan


Me and Vee on a hill. I am trying not to look gay, its not worked!!

Update from firefox

This morning firefox updated and I can now upload pictures and type to the blog. I am a happy Old Peter.

Still got problems

Browser still giving me grief

That close even Jean did not get lost

In previous years Jean had got lost coming back from the loo, (Colin got done) so we camped (Pete F is very camp) closer to the loo. That close we could almost smell it! Hmmm

The Proms at Hyde Park


Once again London called and we all went to the Proms in the Park. Although Colin looks like he has been done he has not it was simple that he did not approve of Jeans poor impression of  Starsky (or as she will now be known Jeansky). The sign above every ones head was of no reference to Jeans impression or the show. Maybe Kylie was a bit toilet but at least she brought her bottom!

The thing's I have to do.

Trying to get everyone in the photo proved to be difficult, I is to fat and have totally blocked Vee out. Not convinced Chris needs his bino's to see me though. I'm over here.

Don't tell anyone about Ardnamurchan

 Just to prove that the sun does shine!
 When I said we were whale watching, why did they all look at me?
 Doris got very Scottish as the week went on.
Typical me hanging out with the puffin's

Not much to say, took this at about 11 o'clock.

Like I say don't tell anyone about Ardnamurchan.

Sid's first post

Hello to my fellow SNAP tour personnel. It be Sir Sideo posting something on the BLOG at last (note spelling of BLOG, probably wrong). Anyway Sir Peteo, FINALLY someone has written on the BLOG that isnt you. Must admit, its all new to me and i havent got the faintest idea what im doing, so some revision will be required to get used to this.

A quiet night out

 Most people appear slightly giddy but just what is Jean doing "Ooh matron"


It was a lovely bright finish to the end of the night. I am of course referring to the back of Rollies head!

North Yorks Moors


Very close my family.
If you look very closely you can see my bag!

Damn Tablet


Panic, yesterday I could not upload pictures. After many hours of head scratching and swearing I am once again a clever old Peter!

Cure the common cold


Saturday evening I was feeling heavy with a cold (must thank the chaps at work on Monday). This is my cure. However on Sunday morning I awoke with not only a cold but a hangover aswell!!

Still trying

After two days of struggling I am still unable to upload pictures onto the blog. This is pants of the very highest order. If anything I have gone backward. I am no longer a clever old Peter!!!!

Clever Peter!

I have now managed to connect to the internet through my mobile phone. Who's a clever old Peter?

Vee & Peter's new pad

Pete has received his new pad'  I hope it lasts longer than 24 hours or I may go mad before we even make it to New Zealand,  By the way he made me watch "World's Scariest Flights" which of course has helped my phobia of flying. Not!!!
