Off on our travels - again!!!!

Peter and I are off on our travels - again!!!!
We're going to Skye to visit my friend Linda and her Dad Lachie and her daughter Yasmin. We're really looking forward to the break, it'll be good to have a break and some adult conversations!!


Who am i kidding - get me and Linda together and we're a couple of giggly teenagers again and we will do our best to embarrass the hell outta Peter and Yasmin!!! 
Well, it's not only our right as parents, but out duty. We HAVE to get them back for all the lovely things they have done to us over the years.


But before we go, there are some things i had to do. Well - pack for one thing.
And do a raid on Kimbles for choccies!!

Follow the link to feast your eyes on the delights.
It is a family run place - lovely and beats costa, o'briens et al into the ground!!!


Oh and the cake is good too!!!!


Just wish they'd get the fruit sponge with lovely icing in again.
Till then - a Belgian Biccie will just HAVE to do with my cuppa, served in a teapot!!. The tea, not the biccie!!




When we're in Skye, we'll be doing more filming for Enable Scotland. It's to let people know about what they can do with their self directed support budget and how they can plan respite for them and not just take what's on offer.

THe above link will take you to the Enable website.


And i've been asked to go to the Naidex exhibition with them. Yikes - it seemed like a good idea at the time, but now i'm getting a bit scared - i've got to tell our story and what we get up to!!!! 


Form an orderly queue with the rotten eggs and tomatoes to chuck at me!!!


But before we even get on the bis to get to Skye, Peter has his registration at college tomorrow. We're meeting Nikki, one of his support workers at college in the morning.
And Lilo has a visit back to the vet. Gets the stitches out tomorrow. 
I'm glad to say that Lilo is almost back to normal. She has been running around the house with the collar on and every so often looks at us as if to say "Get this thing OFF. NOW!!"


So hopefully no more collar after tomorrow.


I suppose i should go and get myself sorted, but i think bed is calling so i'm off to sleep. Maybe not to dream, but hopefully have a good rest!!!

  1. Adult conversation....we've not had an adult conversation in the nearly 40 years we've known each other....however..we've had a good many 'ADULT' convos in our time....Sister Mary Margaret of the Order of the Holy Hymens would be so proud of you as would be my Free Presbyterian forebearers be of yours truly ;-)

  2. Have fun with Peter at college tomorrow - it's exhausting isn't it? And I just know you are going to have a blast in Skye. Isn't it lovely having a best friend like that? :)

    Hope you have sweet dreams and we'll chat soon.

  3. I can just imagine the things that the 2 of you got up to my mind is working overtime. Hope that you and Peter have a great time with Linda & family sharing a few sherbets and choccies while you put the world to right.
