    My wife did Camp America as a kid and still talks about it now. Not constantly.

    Seriously though it sounds like a great experience. Your granddaughter will have some stories to tell no doubt and memories made.

    Went to Chitchen Itza today.

    My main question was how the **** Indiana Jones runs about all day in boots, trousers, long sleeve shirt and leather jacket in that heat and humidity.

    The Hovitos wouldn't have had to break into a jog to catch me.

    The pubs have got lids on mate. I am sure you can keep yourself entertained with vast quantities of alcohol.

    We've just returned from a short break in a cottage in Jockland, visiting friends who looked after us, as they always have, and it was lovely . . . . even the weather.

    We had a couple of barbies, using meat from a local farm shop (Balgove Larder, St Andrews) and it was all lovely (the food and the company) - plenty beer (real ales for me) & wine was consumed and we had a jolly good time.

    Having never been to St. Andrews before (apart from Birmingham's poor version a few times !) we were very pleasantly surprised . . . . it's a lovely place, full of Jocks (I love the Scottish accent), that we'll go back to in the future.

    Cheers, marra <cheers>

    Not had a summer holiday this year. I normally try to get away from the North Carolina heat. Heading for a long weekend in New York on Friday. Catching a broadway show and a Peter Gabriel concert then flying into UK for a few days in York then up to Shields for about 2 weeks. Got my tickets for the Cardiff match, sadly the only one I’ll be there for, bad planning on my part. <doh>

    Like St Andrews very much Gordon, Bowhouse Farm Market is worth a visit if you time it right, think it’s one weekend per month, Fife is such a lovely area especially along the Forth coastline.

    We’re off to Tarbert, top of The Mull of Kintyre on Friday, staying in a castle which we hope is as posh as it sounds<laugh>
    See the weathers broken just so we can avoid the sunshine, but we’re used to the rain in Bonny Scotland.
    Looking forward to being spoilt for a week.
