The 2009 Lamont commemoration march will take place on Saturday the 13th June at Dunoon.
If anyone is coming over for the 2009 homecoming and would like to join us at this event, please let me know.
Mike???????????

I will put a pencil to paper, but I just don't see my budget permitting it. That combined with all the other 'stuff' going on right now is likely going to keep me close to home this year.

Try ever so hard. There are about 200 thousand ex-pats expected.

The place will be heaving, at that. How could I ever relax and enjoy coming back 'home' with all that going on?

And if Maitland catches wind of it, the nightly rates at Taigh Brèagha will go through the roof.

I am doing a deal at the minute. 10% off every night you stay at Taigh Breagha with every meal that YOU buy ME at the Sherrifmuir. Sound good to you my friend ?

Mike and Maitland,
What are you pair like, Honest!

About now, the only thing I can afford to pay for would be a 'pine float', which some of you will know better as a toothpick and a glass of water.

Perhaps I am negotiating with the wrong person. Would Mrs. Maitland be around, perchance?

I wish I could but am afraid I can not afford such a trip.

If it can't be done in a kilt it's probably not worth doing!

She is standing right beside me and it would appear that the deal has changed.

It is now a discount of 9.5% per night at Taigh Breagha for every meal that YOU buy HER at the Sheriffmuir.

Your choice my friend !!

That's likely the better deal, then. She won't pack away nearly as much as you!

Trust me, if I can ever get my sorry carcass back across, we WILL go to the Sheriffmuir Inn and I WILL buy dinner for you both. And consider myself lucky to have the opportunity.

You won't believe what Mrs Maitland has just told me to tell you, and I quote:

"Tell Mike that the next time he is across it will be our privilege to buy HIM dinner"

She is obviously not Scottish

Perhaps not, but a sweetheart nonetheless.

Now that I won't tell her. I won't be able to get her big heed through yon door.
