1. TO PROVE THAT I LOVE EATING: yesterday I might have put on a couple of extra kilos, what with walking straight from a BBQ table to the cakes and candies Anna-Riitta had made for the Eurovision evening.
2. TO PROVE THAT I'M ALMOST RELATED TO A CELEBRITY (from the Finnish saying 'Olen melkein sukua julkkikselle'): the BBQ took place at 'Royston Castle', a huge house (or a mansion more like) owned by a professor and occupied by a couple of university students. Curiously enough, the mansion had been previously owned by the man who 'invented' Irn-Bru. Yes, you heard right, IRN-BRU! The famous hangover cure that sells more than Coca Cola in Scotland! More than cool! 8)
That's about it, basically! Here you can see the house:
'Royston Castle' from the sreet. Passers-by often stop to take photos of the house, not something that the owner likes :D
A German guy's fearless jump to the unknown. It was quite chilly so only a few people dared to show up.

Hi,
I was looking for a photo of the Royston Castle, as tomorrow we are having another BBQ there with the International Society, and I came across your blog.

hi
I rented a room on the top floor of Royston Castle for a couple of years about 25 years ago, loved it! It just popped into my mind today and I stumbled across your blog. I had no idea about the Irn Bru connection but that's brilliant.
I passed by this property today and find it really interesting. Do you know who currently owns the property? From the outside it looks like its a bit neglected which is sad. Does the professor still own it?
