The Walnuts are on tour again in June.
This year it’s Scotland and all about lighthouses – and churches, a distillery, gardens, a rugby club, lochs, pubs and a pie shop.
Sausages
Walnuts And Wheelnuts
It’s been six months or so since The Walnuts arrived back home from our Motorhome tour of Spain and France and we’ve just started preparing for our annual evening at the Pearson Hall (23rd November, tickets £15, get in touch with brianmscott@msn.com if you’d like tickets. We’d love to see you!).

Freestyle Breakfasting
This morning is like a thousand other mornings.
6 am Alarm
6.15am Plunge cafetière and deliver coffee to Mrs Seven Songs
6.30am Showered
6.45am Dressed
7 am Leave for the train station – although I sometimes spice things up by leaving at 7.15 am for a later train!
Some days I don’t even have a shower, although that is pretty much fixed to Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Walnuts, this is Houston. Thrust is GO, all engines, you are looking good.
It’s a bit like that for the Walnuts. We’re getting ready to head off on our Piping Hot Sausage Tour to France and Spain, except not only do we need to get there and back safely we’re also raising money for Alzheimer’s Research UK – NASA didn’t.
