Scottish trip – the irony

There is no doubting the fact that we enjoyed Scotland. However, there was an irony that behind the trip. On our way up the M6 on Sunday I received a text from my friend Don to say that he and his wife Liz were in Derbyshire on a week’s vacation. Now Don and I have been mates for around 35 years. He and Liz live in Colchester (where we met) but both originate from Stranraer. And my text response was to the effect that we were then pulling into Tebay West motorway services on our way to Scotland for a few days. Ironic or what?

The good news is that we got back on Wednesday and Don & Liz came round for tea and a chat, which was the icing on the cake of our anniversary celebrations. It was good to see them, have a chat and share our experiences of the previous few days.
