Just to say Peter got on the correct train, in the right direction and
arrived in Dunbar as arranged.
We had a great round of golf and some good chatter, and I did suggest
satnav for his further adventures

Alan: it was a wonderful day, and I am indebted to you for being such
a generous and gracious host.
I realized when I got back that I had left a zipper pouch in your golf
bag, containing sunblock, insect repellant and some anti-itch cream.
I do not need them back; enjoy what of them you will, and please just
dump the rest. I do not need the zipper pouch, either.
If I left anything else in the bag, drop me a private email, and I'll
see it when I get back home.
Again, thanks so much for a perfect day, including whatever you did to
produce such ideal weather.
That is an awesome talent in/of itself!

All the best,
Peter

Sorry Alan, you'll have to buy your own anti-itch cream.

Strauss may have navigated successfully to Dunbar, but the poor clod
can't navigate his own backpack.
Cancel my previous message, Alan.
I just now found the zipper pouch lurking at the bottom of the
backpack -- it is as dark as the fabric of the backpack, and I missed
it first time round.

Oh, great. I bet against Peter's navigational abilities.

I owe you a pint, Alan!

I'll bring some of those crazy pound things with me. Though, you'll
be buying ME a pint after I win our beer match. :-) Then we'll both
have to drink two pints. Won't that be a bother?

Actually, it was touch and go there...I got to Haymarket Station, and
initially the uniformed person at the gate directed me to the wrong
platform! Fortunately, there were some more uniformed folks down
there who set me straight, and I was up, across and back down to the
correct platform in plenty of time to catch the right train.
On my way back up and across, I mentioned to the original person that
he had misdirected me; he had only a sheepish look and a mumbled
apology for me. Might have been his first day on the job or
something.
Whew!

I wish I could take credit for paying that guy to give you the wrong
directions.......
