....but not everyone's been up the M1, as the old Joan Collins joke goes.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I'm at my mum's in Saltcoats, and have already phone Peeps to arrange a visit to Bute tomorrow (3rd). I will catch the ferry in Largs.
Weather has been horrible, but I lived here for many a year and it would be very unusual to have bright sunny weather in November. Last night it sounded like a hurricane was pounding my mum's windows, the rain was hitting the house sideways, and it brought back fond reminders of why I left.
Still, tomorrow will be great, Peeps has promised that I needn't put my hand in my pocket, it's all laid on - free this, free that, cakes, jelly and lashings of ginger beer. I will pay for the ferry, of course.
