Yes. We did, it s been a while now, but good memories.
I think we could not stay there with four in one room (with our 2 small children...), so we had to search for a bigger hotel with family rooms.
Yes, the rooms are quite, er, functional. Surprised more don't do it.

My 94 year old Mum is afraid of him and thus I tell her ”watch your back, he’s merciless and his fangs and claws are diabolical” 😁
She takes it with good humour but if I e.g. forget to bring her bananas it’s a different story…😬
 
So, the Mrs was on a mission today. She has been into colouring and already has quite a collection of coloured pens and pencils but today she got another 200(ish) some of which is in the photo. Which is fine. I do not have an issue with that at all.

In fact it is absolutely brilliant as when she mentions the paints for my kits I can just point to that lot! 🤣

It also seemed a good time to let her know that I might just have bought a "few" kits from a shop that was doing a clearance sale. 😁
 
Spent a couple of days hiking and camping in the Cairngorms. Fantastic weather, can't wait to go back and do it again.

Great views. Is that laka's shed? So jealous - would love to do that sort of thing. Just need some new knees! :D
It was essentially just a wooden garden shed with stones piled up to support/insulate it.
Also I may need a new toe after this trip. I took off my boots to cross a river and banged it on a rock. It was too numb with the cold to feel it at the time, but after walking downhill for the next 4 hours I was definitely feeling it. When I eventually took off my boots and socks, it was looking a bit purple and swollen.
I'll spare you that photo... Unless anyone wants to see that kind of thing. 🤢

Better go see a doctor about that, sounds like it’s broken.

These pictures look absolutely beautiful. I am jealous!
 
So yesterday was another shopping(me driving wife was shopping) trip to buy even more colouring pens. I think it is like a that poke amon go thing* in that she is driven to get them all! So whilst she was on her mission I just nipped in to the shop to get some veg. I got some flowers for her too. She was convinced that it was because I had bought something and was feeling guilty. It wasn't. I told her about the kits that were coming today. There is also a lock for the gate that is coming today. She might not know about the pies that are coming today! I ordered some vegetarian pies for her but did get some Holy Fuck sauce pies for me. 😁

Thanks for the concern but the swelling and bruising have gone down a lot so I reckon I'm on the mend.
Besides, I already poured some beer on it and rubbed some dirt on it so it'll be fine.

It is sunny at the moment just down the road from there. Says it is 10°C but feels more like 0°C with the really biting cold wind.


First for this year. Have some chilies that have just sprouted so maybe get some off those.
