On Good Friday Sheila and John set off for Edinburgh to visit Daisy Robinson (plus Kate and Rob). Daisy took us all to Cafe Truva for an alfresco lunch in high winds and sunshine. Keftedes and moussaka were consumed in abundance, all washed down with retsina despite Daisy's wish to see most of this fare on the pavement.
If you have got thus far with this virgin blog you deserve to read now that The Buddies have decided to join forces in matrimony on 23rd February 2008. The ceremony, a small, quiet affair will take place in Glasgow rather than at the top of a Munro, underwater, or on a tropical beach. Sheila has shown some enthusiasm for joining clann Eanruig and taking the Henderson name so yet another potential contributor to this newsletter has been recruited. This decision could of course be reversed if there's any pushing and shoving in the ranks. For the avoidance of doubt it should be stated that no further recruits can be expected as a result of the aforementioned union. The happy couple, who will start married life at Sheila's farm (another bull calf born yesterday), give notice that they intend to give relentless chase to Henderson minimus on the hills of Alba hopefully overtaking his Munro tally before the time they get hitched.
The Buddies, now well fed, moved on to Kirriemuir which was base camp for three sunny days of munroing in Glen Shee, Glen Esk and Glen Clova. Kirriemuir seemed to be overtaken for the weekend by stalwarts of Siol nan Gaidheal, the "Scottish Cultural and Fraternal" Organisation who are not exactly supporters of anything that happens south of Carlisle (just do a google to find out more). The hills were the best and probably the safest place to be.

Great to hear the news of the buddies visit to Auld Reekie and lovely to hear that you two have 'come out' about the impending union. Your visit to the Angus Glens sounds fun. I may have to pick your brains re trails as I will be riding to Glen Clova this June and need to know which routes are horse friendly.
