Northern Adventure, Day 2: Highland Madness and Cake

A beautiful day for the Newtonmore Highland Games - that's Mr Borg there in the rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock t-shirt.

The various pipe bands were good. They must have been boiling though.


The girl in the groovy shorts was one of the Highland dancers (hence the startling socks) and had got rid of the presumably very hot dancing outfit - it was a warm day to be wearing wool.

Eventually Miss Mouse got tired and needed a piggyback from Grandpa - well, it was quite a long walk for her little legs, but mostly it was because she absolutely adores her Grandpa!

So we headed back to the house for coffee and Grandpa's birthday cake up by the shed.

Miss Mouse ended the day with yet more splashing around in the paddling-pool before being wrapped up in a towel appropriate to the day's events.
