Well you wouldn’t normally catch me going to see a chick flick, but was curious to see this one, as part of the current Glasgow Film Festival. From not really knowing anything about the band, the documentary of ‘Dixie Chicks – Shut Up & Sing’ gave an insightful view of the girls and the controversy
With a bit of ducking & diving on the Friday to get three Westie entry forms delivered to Bill for the evening, and a panic call from Pat at 8am on Saturday morning to say that she had a tyre puncture (Thanks to Drew for helping out), it was finally a bumper turnout of seventeen
A good wee Westies turnout of twelve runners meant that we had two guys and one girls team and Drew, who joined in for a blast round leg 1 of the relay. Fortunately the heavy morning showers had given way to a bright spell for the start at 3pm and although slightly breezy, made for
The second event saw seven Hares and Hounds and four Westies turn up for the 5.5 mile run/race about the west end. With several of the H&H’s having run the B. to C. half marathon yesterday, three of them decided to just take it easy and return to the Stevie so that left a nice

Just in case any of you baggers out there are listening to the radio tomorrow afternoon, there is supposed to be a programme on Radio 4 called “Saving the Best for Last” about the old timers who first started walking the Munros and other related stories, etc. I don’t have a radio times so don’t
