Staying overnight with Charles Wooley, we decided to go to and visit the wonderful Great Lake Hotel and catch up with the owner James Johns. It was chilly as you can see from the temperature on the drive back to Charles’s shack at 5.31pm

I’m enjoying haggis!!👍😄

Collector’s item alert. This will be worth a fortune when the West Coast Eagles next win the Premiership. It came with our home delivery.

Thoroughly enjoyed today’s annual King Charles III birthday luncheon. Guest speaker was the Her Excellency the Honourable Barbara Baker AC, Governor of Tasmania. The Governor and Emeritus Professor Don Chalmers AO are always great company. Surprised I was wearing the same tie.

Waiting for guests to join me for a long Bannockburn feast at the Tasmanian Highlands Gathering. I was too full to eat dessert.

The number of Whisky distilleries in England has exploded and that is a good thing. Scottish and Irish whisky’s taste quite different, to me anyway so having English brands will add to the variety and flavour profile.

Happy birthday to Ninian MacGregor pictured in the middle with Frank McGregor and Rory McGregor. Ninian is the Hon Vice President of the Clan Gregor Society and younger brother of Clan Chief Sir Malcolm MacGregor of MacGregor Bt.

Happy International Tartan Day today Australia. Looking forward to being in Melbourne on Sunday for the Tartan Festival’s Tartan Parade down Collins Street at 2pm. Here are the official Clan Gregor tartans. I'm wearing the Red and Green in the photo

I’m looking forward to participating in today’s Tartan parade. It’s such a wonderful spectacle for Melbourne

Thank you to Carol Davis FSAScot, Festival Director of the Melbourne Tartan Festival for such an amazing day on Sunday for the annual Tartan Parade. It was very pleasing to see so many young people in Collins Street who came to watch the parade.

Really enjoyed the Tartan Parade in Melbourne on Sunday. Here is an interview on Channel Nine which shows a snippet of last years parade where I appear in the green jacket at the 1.07m mark. youtube.com/watch?v=7_eqz0…

My wife ordered some wine from Virgin and it came with two complimentary Dartington crystal glasses. These are brilliant. We won’t be using our stemmed glasses anymore.

Melbournians don’t seem to like Docklands much because it’s too quiet but as I’m not a fan of crowds, it’s where I like to stay as I did on the weekend. In their defense, there are not many restaurants open there on a Sunday but it’s a quick tram into town for that.

9 years ago today, Charles Wooley and I with the Sixty Minutes film crew enjoyed drinking Rob Roy Cocktails outside of the Craigellachie Hotel in Scotland. Such a great night. Rob Roy cocktails became a staple for us that week. The best one we tasted was made by the Clan Chief.

Happy International Friendship Day to my UK colleagues. Friends now, friends always.

The Killin Highland Games is on today and I miss not being there as I have attended three of them. I hope the Patron of the event, Clan Chief Jamie Macnab had an excellent day with his kinfolk and attendees.

Full moon at Brontë Park Tasmania. Right in the middle of the highlands. My mate Charlie’s dog Dusty looks out for me.

It’s quite rare that my wife Fiona and I get a photo together. Here we are at the Athenaeum Club in Hobart for the Consular Corps of Tasmania Dinner last week. It was a wonderful night.

Government House looking impressive as always last night. I was there for the commemoration of Pakistan's Independence Day. Thank you to the Pakistan Community for the invitation.

Thank you Dr Navpreet Kaur, for inviting me and fellow Consuls to the Indian Cultural Society of Tasmania, 79th Independence Day for India celebration. Really enjoyed the speeches and entertainment and I’m always impressed by the variety of colour at these events. Congrats.
