Brodick Highland Games

The annual games were on Saturday. It can be hit or miss with the weather - well, it is Scotland after all! - but this year we really lucked out with fantastic sunshine but not too hot. Imagine wearing all that pipe band gear in the hot sun? Especially if you're in the Maybole pipe band, with their heavy wool green jackets.

We only managed an hour this year as Hamish had a tennis lesson to go back for, but he had a great time on the bouncy things.

Our friend Alison is included here, introducing her new book Corrie's Capers, a kids' book based on her own wee Westie, Corrie. All the proceeds are going to the Mary's Meals charity, so if you'd like to support her and get yourself a great story into the bargain, take a look at westie.scot
