I appear to have made a mistake with the Andrei’ Rieu concert it being relayed to the Odeon Cinema in Kilmarnock not the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr. The concert itself is coming from Mastricht.
As long as we manage to get the date right we’ll be ok. Last year we arrived at the Gaiety and were seated then we realised we were a night early so had to leave. It was a totally different show that evening and it was only when the missus commented about the stage set up she realised her mistake.
We knew the lady who was guiding the patrons to their seats and she hadn’t actually checked our tickets as she was chatting to the the missus.

Good evening Jim and thank you :} That is how it goes sometimes, hopefully all will be good on the night this time round, I haven’t seen you since Gretna 2015, but didn’t get a chance to say hello. If I recall rightly, Big G was having a chat with you in the front seat of your Jaguar as I walked on by. It would have been rude of me to interrupt you both. I was admiring your caravan :} The Jag looked like the dogs danglies :drool4:

I’m sorry I missed the chance to meet you, yes I remember blethering to Graham about the Jag.
Sadly it is no more as it was written off just weeks after getting four new doors fitted.
After the trouble I had with both Jaguar and my local main dealer Parks Jaguar Ayr I moved to Mercedes and now run the CLS Shooting Brake.

The story on the XF can be found under a Google search on Jaguar XF door corrosion.

I hope to make Gretna again this year with my latest 75, the Zircon Silver Connoisseur SE I’ve been working on for the last six months.

African White with white veins. I had to reduce the EV by 0.3 as the sunlight was very bright this morning, but it was not enough, so exposure reduced in post editing and 'Noise' cut back via 'Noiseless'. Slightly cropped.

Stunning colour, the yellow plumage is complimented beautifully by the diffused green background :bowdown:
