Back in The Ol' Country

From what I can see so far, a cyclone is wet. Apparently it will get a little blustery. Just like Scotland.
We have got the furthest South we've ever been, with the landscape gradually becoming greener and more fertile until we got to Ayrshire/Galloway. This is where Rob and Stacey live. Rob's Great Grandfather came over from Fenwick in Ayrshire 130 years ago, so he really got a home from home. Robs grandfather built the house. It's lovely to be staying in something a bit closer to the pioneering days than what we see in Wanaka. It's got an Old World feel about it. Cheers to No Fuss for putting us in the company of such great people and for adding Gemma and Lisa into the picture too. Quite a unique set-up. I wonder who will win tomorrows prize-draw at the end of this years Moonshine Race. There will be someone else added to the No Fuss family. Hard to imagine that they could ever match up to the first two years' winners.
There's 6 of us getting up tomorrow to do the race and Kate our neighbour will be there too. Don't think anyone is particularly looking forward to it in this weather. Tony has been left in charge of the children which includes our Finn and Meg has farmed herself out to a freind and has a pary tomorrow night.
