Queen's View

The Queen's View is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful views in the world. So, it being not far from Dunkeld, Marita Beth & I with Ginger, Larry & Denise took the B8090 to the Tay Forest Park and in specific, the Queen's View to take in this marvelous view. The Queen's View became a popular destination after Queen Victoria stopped over here on her way back to England on one of her regular visits to the Highlands. However, it seems to have borne the name for some time prior to her visit. In fact, current theory claims that the Queen's View is named after Robert the Bruce's wife, Isabelle. Well worth the stop over on our way to Killiecrankie House for dinner. Arsenal has been left holding only one final option for silver on the season; the Champions League is still to be played. Although, after losing 1 - nil to Bolton at the Reekbok on Saturday I've not got much faith that they'll fare any better against Real Madrid. One can hope. Martin Keown is apparently back in the fold in some coaching capacity or another. My hope is he'll teach these mid-field youngsters how to harass the opponent...and get away with it. We certainly need a much stronger presence in mid-field. Chelsea looks to be chasing Yaya Toure, Kolo's little brother. Step in Arsenal, let's show Chelsea how's it done and put the brothers on the same squad. Our new signing Manu Adebayor needs to grow up, or at least that's what his Togo coach is saying. Seems that he caused some demoralizing disputes at the ANC and his coach has been high-profile about commenting on how childish Adebayor is being. Perhaps Keown will get the boys balls to drop a bit. Now entry tomorrow. Off to Los Angeles for a work trip. Wastrel On! (Listening to: Sowing the Seeds of Love by Tears for Fears)
