We've added this festival to our summer must-do list. To no-one's surprise we were greeted by a raging rain storm the Sunday we were going. Troopers as we are, Cam checked the weather on his Blackberry and as we were promised clearing skies we set out for Fergus. The rain went away and there was only a little mud here and there. We enjoyed a sheep shearing demo, some killer fish and chips and some musical entertainment. Kim & I got to meet one our our favorite authors Diana Gabaldon who wrote the Outlander series of books. She read an excerpt of her next book due out in September and answered questions from her fans. I am always amazed at people's stories and how they came to do what they are doing. We finished off our day with some ice cream and took in the massed band performance. Very stirring. I'll end this post with a scottish toast: Here's to the heath, the hill and the heather, The bonnet, the plaid, the kilt and the feather !
