St Andrews Trip

Monday, August 31st, 2009

On Friday we went to St Andrews with 7 teachers and 150 students - and came back with 7 teachers and 150 students. The weather wasn’t too bad compared to the last couple of weeks and we didn’t actually get wet, so that was a bonus. We came back via Anstruther to the famous fish and chip shop. They have been voted best chippie in Scotland about 5 times. So here’s the sea view and the flowers!

What a grey day

Yes, it’s festival time and as well as doubling the population, the works for the new tram are still causing chaos in the city centre and so the buses are totally unreliable and it’s impossible to go anywhere by car either. I’ve been to a couple of shows but that’s all. However I had a stroll down the High Street on Sunday and here’s some of what I saw - it’s just how it should be, isn’t it?

Now this next guy is from Perth and before he did this trick with the board of nails, he asked someone to throw an apple at the nails just to show they really are sharp. But his first big trick was sword-swallowing - it looked real enough to me, so much so I couldn’t take a photo, it was a bit aargh!
