After seeing Baldrick off in the morning (just) we dithered until around 11am trying to decide where to go. In the end, deciding not to decide, but to head to Ayr and then decide, we set off into the gentle scottish wind (read gale). We navigated our way out of Glasgow with little difficulty, but almost 2 hours after having set off, were somewhat disheartened to still see the city looking very, very close. The way out of Glasgow was up, in fact I realised that this was the same way I left when I left Bladrick 9 years ago heading to Ireland. Glad to see I make the same decisions twice! The difference this time was the detour. It was an innocent looking detour, roadworks at a roundabout, and after heading off in three ... read more

The night before we start our travels, and are we prepared? Mmmm! Not Quite. Still to pack, but what should we take anyway? Don’t know if there will be room for many clothes, well, not after you’ve packed all your gadgets, chargers, guidebooks, and stuff. Almost ready to begin our adventure! Johnny and Eileen are doing a “Michael Palin” heading eastwards for a year to see the world. Departing from Scotland, a small country lacking the confidence to run their own affairs, to visit other independent ones, who, no doubt, wouldn’t understand such nonsense. So, a brief goodbye to can’t do, cold rain, traffic cones, central heating, DIY, playing golf, and (fingers crossed) Celtic soccer shirts, and hello to can do, hot rain, pot holed roads, ping pong, air conditioning, YDI (you do it), and tropical ... read more

Having been back at home for all of 5 weeks it was certainly time for another holiday. We had the perfect excuse, tagging on to Gillie and Gary's wedding in Troon - a week in Scotland. An easyjet flight and rental car got us to our holiday cabin which would be home for the week along with Debbie, Amanda, Dave, Mish, Josh, Jimma, Claire and Huxley. It could have been plucked out of Scandanavia and put down in Ayrshire - complete with sauna too! The setting was perfect and the weather stunning (on arrival) and the holiday spirit easy to get back into with a few beers and good company. The following day was spent in Ayr and with the weather deteriorating our fingers were crossed for the following day - the wedding. That evening with ... read more

Hi folksters, it's just us again. No, we haven't buggared off round the world again, but we have been on a big expedition to ...wait for it............................... AYR where our good friends Morven and Craig were married this weekend. With Alan bolted in as Best Man, we couldn't resist publishing the photos on our Travelblog site to let you all see what a fab time we had, and of course how good Mr McCabe looks in his fabulous kilt. (Oh yeah.... Morven & Craig, you both polished up not bad aswell!!). Now, we have been to a few good weddings in our time, but we have to say that this was definately one of the very best ever! The whole day was superb from start to finish and we had an excellent time. We headed over ... read more
