Aye. Fantastic thanks.

Got  burnt (again) at Duxford on the Friday 26th. Spent the whole day Saturday in Kirkby Stephen indoors staying out of the sun. Stayed at Kirkby Stephen for the week (26th to 1st August) then travelled to the Isle of Skye for a 2 day visit.

Got to Skye on Thursday 1st after a mammoth 8 hour drive. It was stormy and beautiful all at the same time. Stayed in Skye until Sunday 4th.

Headed back on Sunday to Glasgow to see my family for the first time in a year, then headed to Carlisle to stay overnight before picking Sharon's mum up at Kirkby Stephen (we left her there with her son) and headed home.

Knackered, but glad we went to Skye. I have hardly travelled Scotland and Skye was on the hit list. It's one of the easier islands to get to because there's a bridge now (though don't mention it when you're up there - they were pissed about it for a while).

Very good - pity you couldn't pop over for a cuppa - its only 50 miles from Carlisle  ;D

50 miles after driving 1600 miles doesn't seem like a lot, but it might have been the straw  ;D

It would've been possible coming back from Skye  to book somewhere to stay near Newcastle - if we didn't have to go to Kirkby Stephen to collect my mother-in-law.

Well I checked my order on SCG and it has my home address as the delivery address. So I don't know how it got delivered to my work!

Anyway - I'll pick it up after the gym.
