It Rained Again

Digestive Biscuits
Well, it rained a second time. No matter, all in our hill walking club, including us, are happy to be out in any weather. We have waterproof jackets (sometimes referred to as a "mackintosh"), waterproof pants (called "trousers" here), and waterproof covers for our daypacks (called "rucksacks" here).

On this particular hill walk, Mike brought along several packages of Digestive Biscuits, which he surprised everyone by handing out during lunch. By the way, the word "biscuits" refers to cookies. And these particular cookies were developed here in Scotland in 1839 by two doctors to aid digestion.
