Ola! Rod and the kids were troopers today and did a lot of running around. The elevator broke sometime after we stuffed it full of Rod and the luggage the night before, so that meant 6 flights of stairs every time we went out of the Airbnb apartment. I was battling a migraine and going up and down stairs made my heart pound and my headache worse, so I stayed home and watched the rain fall on and off all day. There were two musical groups that played down on the street this day. One group played big band music or something you might hear in New Orleans and one was an eight member college marching band. There is almost always some sort of music being played on the street below. We got some delicious Korean barbeque for dinner and started another Netflix series.

You can see the Mondego River, it leads to the Atlantic.
We couldn't see this group. It was in the street behind us. I'm filming out a bathroom window.

Adeus!

May 3, 2025 The King's Knot Today was more walking around Stirling. We all went out in the morning and just Rod and I went out walking in the afternoon. The best start to any day! Walking around Stirling. We found a playground with fantastic views! This is from the above platform. Playgrounds never get old! A random building. The bluebells are in full bloom. We are in the basement of the unit on the left end. Our address. Some azaleas are in full bloom and some are still in buds. The wall of our patio. A journaling session. Rod and I took a walk and came upon an area called the King's Knot. Here is some information about it. "The King’s Knot is on the grounds of the ancient King’s Park, Crown property from at least the 1100s, where Scotland’s royalty partook in jousting, hawking and hunting. The earthworks known as the King’s (at the top of the photo in greater relief) and Queen's Knots (the smaller bit towards the right side of the photo) were part of the forma...
May 12, 2025 St. Andrews, Scotland.....It's more than a golf course! Our guest, Casey Papp, had one request during her time in Scotland and that was to visit St. Andrews golf course, the location of the origin of golf. Here's a quick history of Scottish golf according to Google. "Key Milestones in the History of St Andrews Links: 15th Century: Golf is first documented being played on the St Andrews Links. 1457-1502: King James II and James III ban the game, but James IV removes the ban after becoming a golfer himself. Golf was banned in Scotland by King James II in 1457, along with football, due to concerns that people were neglecting archery practice, which was crucial for military defense. The ban was repeated in 1471 and 1491 by his successors. The rationale was that golf and other "pointless sports" were distracting from the national interest of preparing for war. 1552: Archbishop Hamilton grants a charter recognizing the right of people to play golf on th...
