Aviemore the journey
// January 21st, 2011 // Holidays, Work
So in a much calmer state than last year we set off on time into the darkness. Travel lodge was fine – although the nightmare was surreal, and we met up at the Penrith little chef for breakfast and started the holiday in style with the keen’s, the sandfords’s and mr givens. The redwoods, well they were in York still.
Lovely day, sunny and clear, we all travelled to Stirling services and stopped for coffee – well it is a holiday! – the redwoods were still in York. Out of Stirling, police car comes past at 100 mph, hmmm. Up toward the roundabout, draw to halt, no traffic other way, turn off engine, all out on carriage way, open doors for warm dogs, eat cake, clean wing mirrors……..mel looks incident up on phone.
We are stuck because there is a loose cow on the A9! One and a quarter hours later we hear shots and then we all move – surreal.
Rest of journey fine, well apart from the dead sheep….just needed a pig for the mixed grill.
