In a little over 2 weeks from now Suzie and I will be celebrating our Silver Wedding Anniversary. Now silver isn’t something we have an affinity for, so instead of buying each other something silver that will never see the light of day we have decided to treat ourselves to a short break, so Mothering Sunday will see us driving up to Fort William where we will be staying in The Moorings hotel for 3 nights.
Now, apart from a day trip into Edinburgh Suzie hasn’t been to Scotland, and my record isn’t much better. A family holiday there in a Commer campervan with my parents, brother and sisters when I was about 12 years old, then 2 weeks in Edinburgh when I was working on an implementation at John Lewis back in January/February 2000, followed by the day trip with Suzie and the boys when we were on a caravan holiday at Berwick on Tweed when the boys were small.
So what are we aiming to do? Visit some historic places and learn a bit of the Scottish history and culture. A bit of touring to see the Great Valley, the lochs and possibly the western side coast and maybe a bit of the Highlands. Ex-colleague and friend Kev Mc has made some suggestions on routes and attractions as it’s his native land and he’s far more familiar with it that anybody else I know, because Don & Liz are from the Straraer area. Whatever we do, it will be some quality time together for us, and that’s what’s important.
