we were taken to some castle (can't remember which! this is scotland and there are a lot of castles.) on a cliff. craggy rocks and the ocean below... we sat around the edge of the cliff (health and safety nightmare, right?) and ate our lunch as hungry arrogant seagulls flew around with their flick knives out... one flew down and stole my teacher's watch from the picnic table she was sitting at.
i once tipped my coffee mug out my boardingschool room window just before room inspection because there was no time to do it properly and a bird flew by and pecked me on the hand. i almost dropped the mug. served me right too. haha.
