Whisky Boy
Just to keep you informed. You are probably aware that we had a recent visit to Ireland and, of course, we had to see how “Whisky Boy” is progressing. The foal has really grown and is starting to change colour. When born he was a wonderful deep auburn colour, just [...]

Whisky Kisses - A Night at the Theatre for the Whisky Boys
Well off the Whisky Boys set for an evening at Perth Theatre to watch Whisky Kisses- The Musical, which is the story set to music and song of the battle between two men for a famous and rare bottle (The Glenigma) of Whisky.

WOE WOE WOE - As a wife I don’t think I am high maintenance, I don’t think I am a diva and I don’t think is put too many demands on my husband. But I do have a fascination for - wait for it - fighter planes.
