We got Ryan away from Fresher's Week for a late lunch after church. He joins Ashley for lunch after sleeping for very little the night before.

The Call to Worship at Holy Trinity - St Andrews

We had entered Holy Trinity and found our seats and I went outside to await Ryan. I couldn't resist this audio and video call to worship.
Brenda and Ashley visited Pittormie Castle where the American students were hosted for a fine reception.
