Catch up

This must be the longest ever period between blog postings - two weeks! I have updated all my other blogs, however, so it's not as if I have been ignoring Blogspot.

What have I been up to in that time? Well - the other blogs will tell you in detail, so I'm not going over any of the hill-walking, golf or ale adventures etc., but the last couple of weekends have been pretty hectic - particularly the weekend in the Lake District. Funnily enough, Jo and I are going back there next weekend - 8th/9th. I had booked a week's timeshare for Gary, Carole and Luca for the first week of the school October holidays. They are heading down to England to see Carole's family in Lincoln and Gary had asked if I could get them some accommodation "anywhere in Englandshire" that week.

Well, I managed to book a week at http://www.seasonsholidays.com/whitbarrowvillage/index.html - not exactly handy for Lincoln, but certainly a bit closer than Inverurie. Gary and Carole are now going to stay in a hotel in Lincoln on Saturday/Sunday and then move in to the Lake District on Monday, so that meant there are 2 nights free there. As it happens, Jo's going down to see Mary next Wednesday, and was planning to come back on Saturday, so I thought I could drive down there on Friday, stay with Mary and Brian, then the two of us could go off to the resort for a couple of days and come back up the road on Monday morning, before Gary, Carole and Luca arrive.

Before that, however, Jo and I are off to York for 2 nights this Friday - and the weather forecast looks great.

That's about it for now - will promise not to take so long before my next posting.
