Not just ANY umbrella!

I drove out to Aberfoyle this morning to collect Togbe, my canine pal, who is staying with me for a week while M is at a World Guiding conference.

We planned to go into the village for lunch where I indulge myself (always) with a fried egg in a roll and two fried potato scones on the side .... not the most refined of lunches but it tastes wonderful. I rarely fry anything at home, onions occasionally but that's it.

Just as we got out of M's car the heavens opened .... I put up my hood and M grabbed her very fancy umbrella which she bought while she was at Sangam in India last year.

M is very involved with The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts and last year Sangam, the World Centre of WAGGS in Pune, India celebrated its 50th birthday.
