Pressing the reset button.


Sometimes in life, we have to hit the reset button.  Lately things have gone beep in the night.  Since the recent windstorm, to be precise.  So come saturday past, we decided to go and do something completely different.  The Highland Games was being held at the local Fair grounds, so off we went.

 It was great fun watching the bands compete, as we saw them practice beforehand to make sure they were all pitch perfect.
 This was serious business, they had four judges, all from different clans. The clipboards were out and they were writing as fast as they could.  Not just a simple one liner... 
 The drummers all had a few tricks up their sleeves
 Now, it could not be a Highland Games, without the men showing off their muscle.
This one was interesting, it looked like a hessian bag filled with hay.  Hockey sticks was used in a game to toss it over this goal post.
Did not get a picture of the dancing, clear forgot to take one.  They were all very good, so being a Judge on the day for, must have been a difficult task.
