Ooh, have a lovely time away! Sounds like it will be much needed after the work stressiness! 43p for a pot of peas is a nice bargain 😊

Your house decor sounds really nice EH. It's good to move into a place where you like the decor and don't feel you have to start going over things immediately because you can't bear to live with what's already there!

Are you off to the Hebs on Monday?  If so I won't be able to wave to you from the mainland as I'm off back home south on Sunday.  I bet you can't wait!  The weather up here has been really nice this week.

I look forward to hearing about your holiday. I miss our Scottish holidays (except for the midges!) but can't really complain as we've seen most of Scotland over the last 50+ years. We started off in a 2 man (woman?) tent when I was 6 months pregnant, before upgrading to a small camper van - by this time we had 2 children & a large dog! We eventually had a slightly larger camper, but never one of the enormous ones we see nowadays. We usually stuck to the islands off the west coast but did get as far as Orkney once.

Have a lovely time, hope the weather's good to you.

Thanks all - a few days yet until we head off but as it looks like the ferries might finally be untangling themselves (one is now on her way back north from overhaul, meaning our regular one should be released back to her usual route in a couple of days) I’m starting to believe that not only might we actually go, we also might do it via the route we had intended. We’ll see, I never quite trust them until we’re actually on the boat! 😂

I’m having a couple of days of waking up silly-early and then being so wide awake that I’ve just got up rather than risking laying there disturbing MrEH too. Yesterday was 5am and this morning just half an hour later. It’s actually quite nice though - both mornings I have come down, got a brew on and had a wander round the garden - so fresh and lovely and SO much birdsong. Actually drank my first cup of tea out there yesterday but it was a bit chillier today so that didn’t appeal. 

I’m trying to use the time to at least be a bit productive anyway. Yesterday I sorted out a load of paperwork that’s been kicking about for ages, and also ready my way through an RSPB magazine that MrEH had already read so that’s one that can now leave the house. This morning I am about to clear down and clean the island - the rest of the kitchen worktops were done yesterday through the day - I always try to do a full kitchen clean before we go away, just now the challenge of getting MrEH to assist with keeping it tidy!

I've been waking around 5am too - in our case we have a pheasant who comes into the garden and shouts around that time, just under the bedroom window 🙄😂 Mr Cheery's been in the spare room all week avoiding my sniffling and snuffling but if he hadn't I might have been wandering round the garden super early too!
