Roadie? I'm a Laird!!!

Can you BELIEVE it? The band made me pack up their gear and haul it out to their cars!!!

Do they even KNOW who I am?

After John the Jug went round hassling the crowd to stick money in the pot though, the fools left me to look after it! Muhahahahaha!!!

Sex & Drugs & Rock n Roll!

Yeah baby! This Bunny was born to Rock!














Look at me! Right at the front :)

After a few bevvies I asked if I could sing. The band readily agreed but soon decided I might be better off drumming. They had their fingers in their ears while I was singing so I don't know what that was all about. As you can see I also had my first and last opportunity to smoke a ciggie in a pub!

Ole!

We stayed in beautiful Seville for a few days' holiday :)

The Giralda appears in most of the photos we took ;)

SOOOOO many shops, so little time!

Why's the rum always gone?!

Cos Louise and Natalya are daft enough to leave me alone in their holiday apartment with the bottles!

Dillon Does Glastonbury!

We went down to Glastonbury, but it seems we were a bit too early for the festival. Maybe next year?

Himself made a new friend, Skully. That's him sitting in the waters at the Chalice Well. I tried to make conversation but to no avail.

Hobnobbing it with Royalty!!!

On the 4th May, Louise took us all to Buckingham Palace in her parents' new car.

Why? Because her sister had been awarded with an MBE. Of course, being a Laird myself, I merely indulged the family's pride at her achievement, bless 'em. They don't know what it's like to be proper nobility ;-)

Sadly I wasn't allowed in as I forgot my passport and she was only allowed 3 guests anyway, and they weren't allowed to take photos inside Buck House, but I understand they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and decided that His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales was much younger and better looking in person than he appears on the telly.

Of course The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were visiting the colonies that week. A place called Jamestown. I believe it's in some backwater of the Empire known as the United States of America?

They were a bit sad because Louise's Dad is paralysed so got to sit at the front in his wheelchair, but that meant the others couldn't sit with him, but they got over it ;-)

The family let me pose with Natalya's badge as they figured I do a lot of good work for charidee ;-)

To Ride a White Horse?

Pretty tricky when it's carved into a hill?

Apparently there are lots of these white horses cut into the hills in England. I hope to see some more before I finish my travels! There were at least 24 known white horses, with 13 of them being in Wiltshire. The oldest and most famous white horse is the Uffington Horse, in Oxfordshire. That one is something like 3000 years old!

This one is the Alton Barnes white horse and was made in 1812, so it's very young in comparison. It overlooks Pewsey Vale towards the new Pewsey white horse which they carved in 1937. The old Pewsey white horse can no longer be seen, so they thought it might be a good way to mark the Coronation of King George VI by carving a new one.
