Holidays!

Think we have found a hovel to stay in, on Orkney (she wants self catering). Everything already booked for early July.

Thought about flying from Manchester but the cost is outrageous. £500 each return! I can fly five times the distance for that. Must check out the charging options north of the central belt.

That's an idea.  Thanks.

I was going to take pushbikes with us, but as we're taking the dog the two things don't really go together.  I don't want to be leaving poochie in the cottage whilst we go out riding.

Cheese at bedtime again, Esp?

We have always found that our best holidays have been based around a shared activity or interest. Fortunately, we both enjoy a variety of outdoor pursuits and are also always open to trying new ones.
Over the years we’ve had holidays that centred around skiing, biking, scuba diving, windsurfing etc and either improving our skills or at least widening our experience of one or more of those and indeed other activities.
Couldn’t imagine just sitting around doing not much on holiday. We both had fairly sedentary jobs and hols were the opportunity to have fun and get a bit active for a while.

Could never do anything like that with mine. Too high a prey drive, too interested in other dogs (wants to kill them all if they so much as look at her), and absolutely zero road sense. Yes, I now, never properly socialised and trained, we got her at 6 years old as a rescue from a puppy farm. The damage is done, we do our best to work around it.

Auntie?
Not quite sure what I’m supposed to make of that? Forgive me if I’m being a bit thick!

I might have been offended if I had a clue what it was supposed to mean, but I don’t, so we’re all good!
