Tomo's Phlog #16 UK Tour

The Luck Of The Donkeys

Day one of our Spring UK run finds us ready, rested and raring to go. We traveled from Belfast to Scotland and found that forgoing the usual stresses involved with airport check-in versus the relative ease of the ferry was one of the best moves we've made. Bravo Una.

Once on Scottish shores our drive up the coast allowed us fine views and a perfect sunset. Unfortunately, as I was driving, I didn't get any photos of either. Never the less, it was a fine and relaxed start to the tour and I think we all agree now that flying is truly for the birds.

Waiting for the ferry.

Note Benjamin Braddock in at the top left corner.



The gang on the ferry.

It's the usual suspects plus Mike, who has returned to do our sound.

Additionally, you'll soon meet our new backline man, Johnny.

That's the back of his head bottom right.



Richie Egan (aka Jape) is doing support for us on this run.

Here, Lisa and he debate the local traffic near Turnberry.



And decide to make a run for it.



Just before the sun went down several ears caught my eye.



No, I didn't get any shots of the breathtaking scenery or the sunset but I did stop the van for these guys.

I think it's an excellent omen to meet a group of donkeys on our first day.
