Rothbury Alnwick area.

In the north east, stay for a weekend.

Alnwick castle, worlds biggest treehouse.

Massive bookshop, a local hotel whose dinning room is made for fixtures and fitting from RMS Olympic ( Titanic sister ship ).

Then go up the road and have a day at Bamburgh castle and beach. Then nip into Bewick on Tweed, then an hour up the road Edinburgh.

Not forgetting a trip to Lindisfarne - check the timetables carefully - and for Mrs Bobbers, a trip to the Metro Centre.

I've just shown Mrs Bobbers Scrump's post from earlier, she's contemplating a response, her only words are unprintable, and I'm pretty sure her suggestion as to what could be done with Scrumps suggestion is physically impossible!!!!

Wots up hun?
Do u need a hug?
We're here 4 u! X

It's just such an awful day weather-wise, wet and grey and windy, I can't go out for a nice drive in the TVR, Mrs Robbo has buggered off out somewehere, but even that hasn't cheered me up like it usually does.
My son is being a tt, daughter #1 is suffering unnecessary grief through none of her own doing, and so on

Probably just a touch of SADS, which a session in the pub would quickly dispel.
Cheery company, that's what I need.

No, pequod, I'm not volunteering for any suicide mission. Kylie needs me.

Is it beer o'clock yet?

Sorry to hear about how you're feeling glenrobbo. This whole situation is taking its toll on everyone.

Definitely beer o'clock.

I’ll take that as a ‘maybe’

No, it's not a suicide mission, robbo!

Thought you would be just the man to go for a recce in the Tiv, in the badlands of West Scotnotshire, to check out a suitable CovPoxVax delivery ve-hickle?

Do you have a camera?

Yep, completely agree g3org3y!

The ability to say exactly what's going on in your life and how you feel and know that the residents of this crazy little corner of tinternet will do their best to help and to cheer you up is what makes it so special!!
So raise a glass and cheers chaps!!!

Never has the word optimistic been so over used!!!!

[pequod]

If you haven't tried one yet, and fancy something different, the Landmark Trust is worth a look?

Just a thought!

Evenin' all.

Elephant and Castle...

I was looking at a stay on Lundy island, might do it later in the year if we are allowed.

Sadly, Pequod Hall's Priest Hole is fully booked for the foreseeable, but I thought this fine establishment would be popular hereabouts?

I must be a strange excuse for a human then as i dont find the whole situation any different to a normal year, with the exception i can't visit my middle grand daughter and her parents, my eldest nephew and new great niece or my brother and his wife and of course, holidays are a no-no.
Otherwise it's situation normal and i haven't had any random urges to harm anyone in anyway and this despite having caught Covid from some complete nurk.

Maybe mum was right when she said i was speshul special


*sits back and waits for the inevitable piss take.

This ^^^ is the attitude that won the war. Bravo.

Just buggering on, as someone once said, and is the mark of a true Brit!

I have 3 cameras, but unfortunately no film in any of them.
They were sadly overtaken by the new digittle age and fell into disuse.

I'm afraid West Scotnotshire is out of my region, but I did take part in a comprehensive tactical reconnaissance sweep of the target area a couple of years ago.
Whereabouts in Holy Loch were you thinking in particular?

I do have a close-up photograph of a tadpole's eye that I took, and I used to have a haggis in a tin, but I ate it on 3rd Degree Burns Night just over a year ago.
Does this help in any way whatsoever?

Incoming trivia. A brand new battleship ran into Lundy island and was so badly WS he’d it’s propellers had come off.

It was a scrapped in situ.

IIRC the steps down the cliff to it still exist.

I'm truly blessed.
After a couple of hours cutting grass is 18 degrees and sunshine,agent M and I were treated to the Ariel spectacular of migrating storks in thier thousands and then fantastic mumurations of starlings!

Followed by a beef stew and dumplings then a glass of red sitting outside with my little pal.

A tyre kicking welsh weirdo came to look at my trailor. TVR owner and building various stuff but had a much better trailor in Wales that he can't get to apparently.
40 fecking minutes to look at a trailor!
Then walked off without being capable of saying goodbye. His wife was full of appolgies etc bla Bla.
