General Chat

Gosh I have not been as excited as this for a long while I can hardly wait.
I hope you are prepared for a scotch mist Stephen ?so we will need silver foil and a mobile and a flare if you have one. dont forget the first aid box either, that includes seasick pills for those that might get sick if the sea is rough.and off course we must take our camera from the description Stephen had given us the views should be out of this world. I dont know how we will carry this on our back I have two Haversacks one Green and one Black if someone wants to borrow one.
I am doing my losening up exercises now ready for this walk and climb a head of us."
O you take the high road and I take the low road and I'll be in Scotland before ye."

be back later.

Rita,

Scotch Mist!

The Gaelic name for the Isle of Skye is.....

Eilean a' Cheo'

which literally means the Isle of Mist.

Can I have a BIG pompom on my hat please.

Stephen

PS If you do a Google for the Isle of Skye you should be able to see some photographs.

Stephen we are having a tour of Scotland so learning all the time

. My mother in Law took us for a walk up the mountain near where she lived Invernbervie near Montrose and we has started out when a Scotch Mist came down it was so erie it was clear one minute and thick the next needless to say we had not gone too far up.and was down quicker than going up.

Rita

Shelly whose caravan is Jean going into then. If she comes in with us, I will look after her and Rita.
Special hot chocolates for the both of them to keep them warm, as they are not allowed no spirits at the weekend that will warm the cockles of their hearts.
Rita, Marilyn will want to borrow your green Haversack, to go with her outfit.
Shelly can take photo's on her mobile phone, so we won't need a camera love, thats extra to have to carry.
Shelly, a limo won't be no good in the highlands, we will need the mini bus
We can have a good old sing song on the way.
Doh, Ray, Me, Fa, So, La, Tee, Doh, Just getting my voice in tune ready for the off.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's to the hills we go.

Stephen

Mo,

A lovely pink hat please....I suit that colour...so all the fellas tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right Stephen bright pink it is. Do you want the gloves to go with it. Sorry I cant make socks though, so it will have to be the army and navy stores for them.
Oh I just thought, have the army and navy stores closed down now. If they have it's back to camping international again.
I have got my billy can for my grub, a fold up knife and fork,an enamel mug for my coffee. Don't do bikini's no more, just a swimming cozzie. No worries about make up, eau natural thats me. Don't have no false teeth, all me own gnashers.
Hi Ho Hi Ho, it's of to Scotland we will go.

I'll go for those gloves Mo.

'Pink to make the boys wink'!

Ah, Mo's back, and by the sounds of it..........ready for the off.

I hope that pink wool is florescent Mo, if we lose sight of our Scottish guide we'll never be seen again. We need to be able to see him at all times.

Can I have the lilac hat please? I quite like lilac, I think that was the colour of the dress I had for Sue's wedding.............the one that never happened.

Yvonne, was there any money in that sporran, or did you use it to pay for the whisky? Well done to your son, is he studying for his A levels now?

Shelly did you get that? We need to book the caravans at Glen Brittle. We'll pretend to sleep in the tent but when Stephen's not looking we'll sneak into the caravan.

Rita, try not to get too excited, it might give you a nose bleed.

Linda hasn't been on tonight, bet she's been frantically knitting away all night.

Stephen can I wear wellies instead of boots? Marilyn made me buy some of those posh Hunter wellies when we went to stay in her barn, she wouldn't let me wear my Asda ones. Now that I've got them - I might as well get some use out of them.

I hope it's not misty when we get there, it'll make my hair go frizzy.

Morning all, (no I am not Jack Dixon lol) just to say I would like a purple hat and could I share a caravan with someone please, I don't do tents, never have and never will, playing in a homemade shelter/tent my dad made us put me right off, it was all those earwigs that crawled in during the night and when I went to play next day they all fell on me! Never no more! I leave camping to my son and his friends!

Lizxx


still no word from either son or his dad, o.h. is confused!

Just dropped in to leave a wee note.

I am changing Broadband suppliers today, they say 'no problems' but I've heard that one before .

So if I'm not around, it's because of 'a hitch',

Gonna miss you. Nothing like a bit of humour to ease the pain.

Stephen

Hi Liz and Stephen and other late risers.
Stephen I hope all goes well with the changeover. Only done that once and it did go OK.Thank goodness.
It's another cool and bright morning here. The daytimes are lovely so no complaints.
Walked to the village yesterday, Drs for prescription and bank to pay bills so nothing outstanding now.
At friends last night for dinner, it was very nice too.
Oh hubby came home around 1:00 yesterday still hasn't been called for service, but has to go back again today!!

Have a nice day everyone

Linda :o) XxX

Hi All
Looks like out trip might be called off if Stephen is having trouble with his Broadband what a shame and I have found my old Chelsea suporters Hat as well and scarf. now I am lost for words. Makes a change.

The weather is bright this morning sun shining, makes you want to smile all the time so I shall.

Hi Jean hope your feeling a bit better to day. I think of you and wish you all the best. keep thinking positive Love.

My son in Law is not so well after his chemo on Tuesday, he has done nothing but sleep. still not eating I asked my daughter to ask him would he like one of his mother in laws apple pies. ? that should make him smile as his mother and I were very good friends and when he first had my apple pie he told his mother to ask me for the receipt because it was better than hers. she phoned me laughing about it. he was 19 years old then.when he started going out with my daughter. so it got to be a standing joke.
sadly both his parents are dead now he only has his sister. I treat him like a son because that is how I feel about him.

I am going further a field today to get some shopping. thought I would walk to the next villiage I can always catch a bus if I get too tired.

see you all later./
Rita

Morning All,

Please can someone tell me WHO I am sharing a Caravan with ? I'm confused....!!!!

Shelly & Pauline don't want me in theirs probably because they think I might boss them around too much and make them go to sleep early, Sighs !!!!!

So Rita & Mo & Yvonne & Jean & Linda & Liz
Will you chose your caravan with whom you wish to share ???????

I do have All mod cons.......Electric blankets etc etc... Sky & wireless internet.
Kitchen well equipped , dining room to die for.....drapes all over different colours in all rooms, , toilet is real, not a port a cabin style ..LOL best softest toilet paper that I could find , Kitchen to die for. In actual fact MY caravan won an award at the Caravan Exhibition in Earl Court..

I do have a very Large tent on the trailer behind the caravan that I always take with me that can also be used if forced to do so by Stephen,,,,,,still all mod cons but the beds are of the blow up type, but very comfortable also won an award .

If any of you decide to refuse this wonderful offer ......... please yourself and just sleep in the field outside. and get used to it ...LOL .

Now I have to go in to town and buy all this gear that Stephen has requested we do have a Goulds camping shop thats been around for donkey years .....But I prefer to look a bit glam no tassel hat for me I need Fur ...& designer sun glasses for the mountains that we might have to climb ,
Fur boots with sheep's lining, you lot will have to trail behind with those tassel hats !!!!, I not posh but I do like style unfortunately ....LOL

Think I've said enough now........

marilyn read back you are in with liz linda yvonne

me and pauline have mo jean and rita

now how do you no what your caravan looks like if i have not got them yet lol

eny way you was quit happy to sleep in the tent till i said i was not and i would have a caravan now ant that right pauline go on you tell her lol

Shelly,

I have my caravan on order, special delivery for where ever I wish it to be !!!!

Dont forget the girls might want to change their mind now that they been told about MY Caravan ....even Pauline Rita & Mo might change her mind and leave YOU ...LOL

Also the Tent .....could still be in the running, not ruled it out yet.
Stephen will be the decider of that I reckon ......

Dont be so bossy .....we can only have one boss on this thread and that's ME ...LOL

Off to order a washing machine for MY Caravan......see its getting easy to choose who goes where ....PMSL.....

Hi all.
When you were young, did you ever pull your mums washing line down, and drape an old sheet over it as a tent. We then put blankets on the ground, to lay on. Bottles of pop, bags of crisps and biscuits. We were the guardians of the garden,and if anybody walked up the back alley, we would chase them away.

Well now girls,Shelly, Pauline, Rita, Jean and myself all sharing the same
caravan. No beans for dinner,( we dont want no wind breaking during the night). I will bring some ear plugs for us all, coz we don't want to hear Marilyn shouting out her orders. LOL

Lets hope Stephen is back on line to show us were we have to go.

HA marilyn see did you read that mo says no beans in how caravan so thats you out PMSL on that one

well done mo lol
