Tima calling to the heron on the river







Skittles at The Sheep Heid Inn & Pub in Edinburgh in May

On Queen Victoria Day, Tima and I went with some friends to a little Pub and played Skittles in spite of her bad leg she was a real trooper and her first roll was a ten pin knock down - not bad for a gimp with a bad leg. Of course she wasn't doing cartwheels. But gave it her best shot. Course she took pictures of me from behind - my best feature I suppose.

The First roll of the Evening

the blurring ten pin knock down

the supreme moment of her triumphant start - clearly she is a professional skittles bowler
Savoring her moment in the spotlight

A humorous moment brings a smile

















Finally getting tired



Apparently this is the only picture she took of me i could find


the Final score to a perfect day 325 to 325

Dinner afterwards was great as well as the desert we had at "bella italy" at the spur of the moment.

Rosslyn Chapel of Devinci Code fame In mid April 2011

One Sunday I was able to talk Tima to go on a trip to Rosslyn Chapel south of Edinburgh.
