The Windy City sure enough

Met Ron and Sherry Colburn from Dallas, Texas yesterday for a full day tour. The wind was strong, westerly and cold ( the TV aerial was blown off my roof overnight). The day was interspersed with showers of horizontal rain but we soldiered on in the spirit of Culodden meets the Alamo. Ducking in for coffee, lunch, the odd comfort stop and sheltering in the Royal Mile's 100 closes, wynds, courts and entries, I nevertheless had a great time with 2 interesting, mature and hardy people. Exhaustion finally brought us to a stop. Sherry had been consantly travelling across continents for the past few weeks so her body clock was really confusing her. For that night's dinner, I booked them into the Tailend Restaurant for the best fish and chips in town and for Thanksgiving lunch at the wonderful Wedgwood Restaurant for next day. A wee dram of cask strength malt from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society to round off the tour and another convert to Cullen Skink. The recipe's in the ether Ron!
