Jodie's Work Leaving Party

The Lovely HR Ladies
Enjoying a Cosmo

Ohhhhh what's in here........

Oh guys... you shouldn't have! I got a Lonely Planet Guide - Europe on a Shoestring (an absolute must when backpacking through Europe) and some clothing vouchers (so I didn't look like a feral traveller). Thanks so much girls x

Enjoying a lovely meal the The Grill in Glasgow

Ending the night before we all went our separate way - home and to an 80's bar (guess which one I went to!!!)


Dancing to 'Wake Me Up'

Having snakes before we went out - YUM!

Practicing our 80's dancing!

Camping at Loch Lomond

The Edinburgh International Rugby 7's Tournament







We had a quick visit from Peter and Ruth (Sam's Uncle and Aunty) who are driving around the UK......

We enjoyed a lovely meal of traditional Scottish haggis at one of our favourite pubs - Waxy O'Conners (yes haggis at an Irish bar doesn't really make any sense!!)

We took Peter and Ruth to visit Sam's old rugby ground - they were most impressed with how close the cottage was to the rugby field (see in background)!!

We finished the evening with a quiet drink in Ashton Lane - a very popular cobbled stone lane in Glasgow with lots of cute pubs lining the streets.

Stirling, Scotland

We finally managed to squeeze in a trip to Stirling, home of the famous William Wallace Monument, a place Sam and I have always wanted to visit since arriving in Scotland. Our friends Mike and Kirsten live on a beautiful farm on the outskirts of Stirling so we paid them a visit and then carried on to visit William!
William Wallace - the man himself!
