buzz Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 After some brief talk of a few of you coming to Scotland, I thought I'd post some pics to 'entice' you over here Pics from a day out to a range of hills/moorland about an hour outside Edinburgh.

Daywalker Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 After some brief talk of a few of you coming to Scotland, I thought I'd post some pics to 'entice' you over here That really works for me! Lovely landscape! And great pics of you three, too. Jono is looking bigger every time i see new pics! The best pic is where you two are in the water and it shows only your wide shoulders and huge traps!!! Classic moments caught with the camera I wish i'd be there ... wait, i will be, soon!

robert Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Thanks! We've had some great meet-ups over here which were inspired the meet-ups over there! It's all about building vegan communities everywhere we go and it sounds like you guys have some great stuff going on over there. We're trying to do the same over here and it is coming along nicely. Again, great photos, I've been to a variety of places in Europe (15 countries) including Scotland and I love it! Maybe someday I'll find myself over there living for a while. The toughest part is trying to decide where to live, there are so many great places! Have fun and all the best with your new home there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Huge - nah - still a long way (30kg/70lbs) to go. Imagine how massive I will be then! Actually - I just look a bit bigger at the moment than I have recently (even though I have been heavier) because I have dropped some fat. It's amazing that even a wee bit off makes you look bigger. The river was fantastic. I love swimming in rivers and lakes, and this is one of the best that I have been in. The water was clear, with a hint of tannin from the peat bogs. It was even quite warm too. I just got annoyed with myself for not bringing goggles with me - there were huge shoals of minnows in the second pool (the one with the nudity). If you stood still for more than a second they would swarm around you and start nibbling you all over, though mainly on the legs. Crazy stuff Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelhobson Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Wow, I assumed the water was very cold. Fantastic! Most places like that here are high in the mountains and the water never gets warm. Lucky for you they were just minnows, we were simming in a lake a few weeks ago and the fish were about the size of my hands. One decided my nipple looked tasty and tried to bite it off! Ouch! I had tiny tooth holes all round and it was bleeding. Sorry little bastard! My goal is to get to Scotland within the next six months, so you gents put your trousers on and I'll see you soon.

Crystal Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 10 points to Kathryn for the dive! Great photos, definatly makes me want to go back there (how's over Christmas break sound? ).

Cool that you are thinking of coming over so soon man! Let us know how the plans develop. Actually, trousers aren't necessary. We're pretty much nudists, especially for outdoor swimming, clothes are pretty silly. I need to figure out money and time off from work, then I'm there. I'm really excited for you all that your communal living situation is happening so soon. We're still working on things here. We just got an email from a local guy we haven't heard from in 6 months. He and 5 friends are working on purchasing a working oragnic farm and 1200 member CSA, just an hour from pittsburgh. I'm not sure yet if they are vegetarian or vegan, so that would make a big difference. If they are, we'll likely be there next summer. We already plan to quit our jobs and live free all next summer, so the farm would be perfect. See you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 The farm sounds like a really exciting project for you Something like that would have been wonderful for here too, the only problem is that any sizeable property within a commute of Edinburgh is really expensive. Well the whole of Scotland isn't particularly cheap either. By CSA do you mean some sort of co-op? Michael, if you can make it over in early May it really is the most beautiful time here - everything is in bloom and the weather was perfect Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelhobson Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 By CSA do you mean some sort of co-op? Yes, Community Supported Agriculture. Before the farming season begins, members buy shares of the crops. That way, everyone takes an equal risk if the crops fail and the farmer gets paid regardless. Then, during the growing season the farmer delivers fresh organic produce to the city, once or twice per week to the co-op members. Also, CSA members will often work a few hours per month on the farm to help pay for their share. We have two CSAs in the Pittsburgh area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you come over to visit us, in return for the food and board we will supply, a couple of hours 'work' in the gym every couple of days will be required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganmadre Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 If I come alone, what about me - will I be required to work in the gym as well?? I feel I could be of much better assistance helping Kathryn with naked picture taking... Still, it's a commune and I'll do what needs to be done...

I think it would just mean that you would have to spot for us as well as helping to take pics during the naked gym session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
