19 hours 25 minutes

Our first one.

It was fun at first - you know quite exciting really, romantic, and thrilling for Ailsa. But as the day wore on and we started to feel that we wanted more than cups of tea and we were getting a wee bitty hungry, well, the novelty wore off.

They were OK down in the village. For them it had only been 1/2 an hour or so last night. Everyone was very sympathetic.

What did you end up doing: cook on the fire? Eat in the pub?

We waited. Toasted bread on the fire and waited. Made cups of tea on the fire and waited.

Ailsa was going mental - I mean Strictly come dancing final night. The power came back on at last and Jussi 'cooked' and Ailsa could watch TV again. I say 'cooked' cos the fire alarm didn't seem very impressed by her efforts.
