Sam's day out

Sam and I took a day out from building yesterday (9/11) and went for a walk in the Mournes. It was an absolutly glorious day - as the photos will show. I had intended to have a day of silence and solitude but I had only just arrived at the top of the mountain when another bloke came up behind me. We got chatting and he turned out to be a retired teacher who had spent most of his life in Canada and Australia. He is now volunteering at a christian reconcilliation centre in Co. Antrim and we have an invitation to come and visit them sometime. His home is in Vancover Island so we might call in there some day as well. We spent a good while talking - and finding out that we had a lot in common - and when he moved on another man appeared. He was a BB leader from Omagh and we sat and had lunch together. We couldn't sit too close as he also had a dog with him and Sam was showing signs of wanting to have this dog for his lunch!
Sam just loves getting out for a walk in the mountains (as do I) so we must do it more often.
I don't think I was cut out to be a person who spends a lot of time on their own!
The TV programme came over very well and we will get a DVD of our segment from the producers. Perhaps if my skills as a blogger improve significantly I will have a go at publishing it. Watch this space!
