May 12 Tiree Travels!Well, howdi all. Hope everyone is well. I am just blogging today to let my mum and dad see our pics from Tiree. We went last week for 4 days. It was my surprise for Nick. He is going to hit the big 4 oh on Wednesday and I decided to treat him to a weekend away. I suspect that he was guessing that it might be a trip to NYC or Paris or somewhere equally glamorous for the two of us. Little did he know that it was to be a trip to a little Scottish island in a self catering cottage with the kids, dogs and his parents!! You should have seen his face when I told him!!
However, Tiree is the most beautiful place. The sun shone for us and we had a great time! We didn't take a car because it was too expensive so Nicks Olds took their bikes and we arranged to go on the community bus. We weren't allowed to take dogs on the bus though so Nick walked them from the Ferry to the cottage. We had estimated that it was just about 3 miles to the cottage but we had worked it out wrong. It was 6 miles!!
We hired bikes for the duration of our stay and cycled everywhere - its great because it is so flat there. the beaches are fantastic - white sand and clear green sea - its like the carribean!
We had a birthday BBQ for Nick on Saturday for his birthday - we ate loads and drank too much! But it was great fun. Good food and excellent company - a shame that some of our old pals from Kegworth were absent but we had a drink on their behalf!!
We are both taking the day off on Wednesday - the weather promises to be glorious - so we will walk to the pub for lunch. Then the following Wednesday I bought him tickets to see the Kaiser Chiefs - they are playing in Oban!! Can you believe that they are playing in such a wee venue. Our Rock and Roll friends Nick and Joey managed to get us on the guest list - so if anyone wants to buy a couple of kaiser chief tix for Oban drop me an email!!!
Well, take a look at the photos - there are some beauties.
Lots of Love
