Scotland in 14 nights

[DavidG58]

Must have arrived in Jedburgh just as you posted @Garfields, as you say sun just giving it a go to break through the drizzle now

Dry drive up to around A69 was dry, from then we had some near monsoon conditions through to Carter Bar, stopped to look at what the view would have been if we could have seen more than a few yards

Now things are looking up here, dry, nearly sunny, G + T's poured, then off for a walk by the river in search of dippers, feathered types, not locals washing in the river

Bev has asked it to be made clear I parked ours

Forgot to add a photo of a freshly laundered Lola, who was then making absolutely sure she didn't get left behind

will comment more tomorrow, was going to make mention of the company, but got FIL asking what I am typing, got away with showing him the photos

Glad you made it to Jedburgh and beyond (that looks like Terry's van !!) hope it's all going well! Lola looks fed up with the weather already!!

Actually Terry's van is now looking a little more like my MH, I had only had it half an hour and put a 'graze' on rear corner virtually identical to the one I put on ours a few weeks ago

Gonna tell him Bev was driving at the time he will not be so cross with her

 

[Debs]

Completely understand why Bev said that about parking Glad you've all arrived

@Anthea M ..... NMC

Keep up at the back there Anthea, Lola had just come out of the shower then, hence the sad face, she is actually now even wetter due to a walk at Carter Bar she goes frizzy when wet, actually she doesn't of course her fur does

Do you know, I have a little hunch that I think you might

The face says it all....cruel and mean dad making her have a shower

NMC = Nosey Mares Club ...... HQ is currently on the Morning Funsters thread but there are some male members too

Carter Bar was thick foggy mist when we passed through in May but spent 4 days in sunshine at Melrose! Was that miserable piper there? The old one was lovely and there is a memorial to him but the new one is horrid and mutters about sassonacs ( sp) under his breath!!

But are you on a 'if you bend it, you buy it' agreement Terry? If so, wonder what Bev thinks of her birthday pressie of her very own motorhome

 

[DavidG58]

from a distance it doesn't look much different

the top one I have to hold my (or I would have preferred Bev's) hands up to, the bottom one I reckon is down to its former life in France

BTW what looks like scratch on the skirt is a reflection of the car park lines, maybe made worse by my cock eyed parking

technically I never even got it on the drive

will need to discuss excess contributions

Bev has driven it since though, so all is not completely lost

In laws have now retreated to their lair, this is going to be a long 16 nights

Old people are just hard work......................

latest episode

FIL Bryan (the Y must be a clue) but he was apparently christened that way, I reckoned he just changed it to sound posh, went to loos adjacent to Jedburgh car park, they are closed and locked, but woman pops out of disabled loo, Bryan grasps the chance and wedges foot in door for a free pee. So far bad enough

Next thing I hear is a shout from afar 'JAY' pause 'JAY, further pause JAAAAAAY', now Bryan calls my MIL J short for Janet, ( it gets worse sometimes, Bev's middle name is Jane and he shouts (calls) her by her first two initials

but back to J, after enough noise to raise the whole town I go out and try just staring at him, doesn't stop him, 'wheres J' gone to the shops with BJ I shout ( I don't of course, just helping those that haven't caught up yet) gone to the shops I say as loud as needed to shut him up

He wanted Janet to need a wee, because it would be for free

I breath and return to my G + T

that was only one of a few events for today, cant bring myself to repeat them all, will save a couple in case he behaves one day

 

[Terry]

Better let Bev drive it at least she won't bump it surprised you have not blamed MIL or Lola
Terry

 

[MoKa]

Sounds like this is going to be a fun trip

Looking forward to your updates, and welcome to our lovely wee country

 

[Lisa]

Sounds like you're going to come back with a few grey hairs, by the end of this trip, but I bet you are going to have some lovely memories too

Lol who wants to spend a penny when it can be free?!!!

 

[irnbru]

David do you not have a disabled radar key for the toilets? If not let me know when you are passing Glasgow and I will borrow you ours. Sounds like you might need it over the next few weeks.

There is a country western weekend on in Millport your last weekend if any of you enjoy that sort of thing.

[DavidG58]

Thanks for that Sandra, not coming near you this trip though.

and Matt, yes on the county of origin, which also makes the Y less credible in his name, far too southern for South Yorkshire

that was quoted more or less exactly as it happened, I would like to think you really couldn't make it up

 

[DavidG58]

have a think on this scenario, 2 nearly 80 year olds in different MH's trying to communicate by walkie talkies that they bought and insisted on bringing

so many laughs already, I will add more to your thoughts later

 

[Carol]

David this thread is going to crack me up, and if they get wind of it they will wind you up even more just for laughs, don't forget even though you may be near 60 your still their kids.

Edit: by that comment I mean when they're at the...... 'You can't exoect me to do that, I'm almost XY years old you know' stage!
