2014 - Backpacking to Stranraer, Scotland day 18

Backpacking to Stranraer, Scotland from 21 May to 26 June 2014 (37days)

As usual our breakfast is cereals in fresh milk.
 
Day 18 (7.6.2014) – ladies went shopping to Ayr (72km)

Today was a shopping day for our good ladies who had been preparing our meals and washing our cloths. Although it was raining all day it had not dampened their shopping spirit. Carol Anne Robertson came to pick up the ladies and drove northeast to Ayr 72km away for shopping.

And as for the guys we stayed home updating our mails and downloading our photos to computers. Alistair went out to buy Scott's Apple pie for lunch. The ladies came back at 4.45pm to prepare dinner. I am sorry that the ladies had not taken any photos on their shopping spree; buying shoes, jackets and etc. Many many thanks to Carol Anne Robertson for taking our ladies for shopping in Ayr.

Sleeping: Shambley Residence, Millfield Avenue, Stranraer, Scotland.
Temp: min.11 – max.18 °C

  1. No, don’t take blue wheat. Take the real deal pure blueberry fresh or frozen where you are, and take it by the boxful or tubful in one serve, and take it every day, at a fraction of the price in My. You anti-oxidant your body, reset it, and your body will thank you for it. Check out the good food in new health forum - click icon/pic. I guess you know the super food blue berry already.
