Six Nations Rugby Scotland v Wales....Sunday 8th February 2009.

-







Over last weekend I stayed with my brother Tim and family (Lou, Laurie, Hector and Tammy the dogs) in Glasgow for the Six Nations rugby match Scotland V Wales which was played at Murryfield stadium in Edinburgh.
As usual with this fixture, Welsh supporters were out in force and a good 20,000 must have made there way up from the valleys to get up to Scotland, and I would imagine possible the same amount of pints were drunk over the period of the weekend!?

Wales ran out comfortable winners in the match 26-13, with Wales scoring tries from Tom Shanklin, Alan Wyn Jones, Leigh Halfpenney and the magical Shane Williams. Scotland replied with a nice try scored by Max Evans (Maybe Mr Hadden should have had him on from the start?).

Hopefully this is the start of another Grand Slam for Wales?

As you would expect I took a good number of photos of these good looking Orchids. Although this trip was to look for Orchids, I did note that the quarry had three singing Redstarts, which would have been fantastic for my home county of Leicestershire! Moving up to the higher section of the quarry I found another twenty Fly Orchids, five Frog Orchids and a couple of Common Twayblades. Driving up the hill from the last site, I reached the next site within minut
