Hello Woofers!
It's the Heeland Mob here! McDaisy,
McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty
McSpporan up in sunny Scotland!
Well, what a trip, we left very early
on Monday, on the road by eight and trolling along the M25 and
through the Dartford Tunnel, then it happened, queues of traffic
caused by speed restrictions, crashing vans, HGV trucks playing
bumper cars!
 |
| Well, at least we get to chat with the ferrets! |
So, instead of arriving at Gretna by
about one, we didn't get there until six!
Well, that mucked up The Missuses plans
to empty the craft shops in the Designer Centre!
Distraught, she had to resort to
drowning her sorrows in a bottle of Bollinger Champagne with her fish
and chips, (The Chinese was shut!)
 |
| No Plawn Clackers, No Plawn Balls and not even a chip, I think I'm dying! |
She slept well that night!
Mind you, Old Two Legs had a slurp and
he slept well!
Holly was set for a good night as well, until TM pinched the duvet cover!
 |
| It's a Dogs Life! |
We were up at the crack of dawn again
and OTL decided he wanted a shower, so, with his gear wrapped up in a
towel he staggered off to the camp site showers clutching the key to
open the door!
Being half asleep, he tried the ladies
showers first and was cursing 'cos the door wouldn't open but just in
time he spotted the picture of a lady!
Once in the correct shower room he set
about getting a shower, money in the slot, turn on the water and step
in. Only problem was, he had forgotten to bring his shower gel! Lucky
for him, someone had left an almost empty bottle on top of the money
machine so, with a little bit of care he managed to add some water to
the contents of the bottle and 'Splash it all Over'!
After the shower he got dressed,
finding he had also forgotten his clean socks and toothbrush!
He really doesn't do early morning
decisions!
Not to worry, we were on the road by
seven thirty and off to sunny Carradale Bay!
The trip was a bit boring really 'cos
unlike on the motorway, no one took any notice of us blowing
raspberries at them through the side window, mainly 'cos they were
going the other way!
Holly and I decided to wind up OTL and
every few minutes we asked 'Are we there yet?'
 |
| Are we there yet? |
It was great when he sad 'YES!'
We planted the caravan and before the
awning went up OTL took us for a run on the beach. The tide was half
way out but we still had a great paddle, even McHolly Chops went in
far enough to get her knees wet!
 |
| Just what the vet ordered, a paddle in the sea! |
Holly was chasing anything that moved and when OTL threw a stone into the water she almost forgot she doesn't do water!
 |
| My turn with the stone! |
We spotted our first Nelly Fish and McHolly Chops said it was called a 'Hot Cross Nelly Fish' on account of the markings!
 |
| A Hot Cross Nelly Fish? |
After we had our run OTL got the
ferrets out and they had a chance to stretch their lugs on the beach
and in the long grass on the beach. OTL calls it Marram Grass!
The ferrets love diving in and out, even Miss MacWendy stopped attacking Monty McSporran!
 |
| Get going or I'll bite your tail! |
 |
| No! Going this way thanks! |
OTL didn't mind 'cos while he was walking the ferrets, it gave TM time to unload the stuff from inside the caravan and have a cup of teat waiting for when he got back!
 |
| This is the way you unpack! |
It was lucky they didn't chase after OTL and shake their sticks at him some more!
Towards the evening the sea started to get a bit 'Choppy' and we saw there were some White Horses on the waves, we think the weather is reverting to Scottish Weather!
 |
| Well, the wind keeps the midges away! |
Not only is there no power but the Wi-Fi was off as well and the mobile phone cell was running on low power to conserve the battery backup!
What was worse, we had to go out for a wee in the wet!
 |
| Looks good but it will get worse over the next twenty four hours! |
So, we have a wet holiday to look forward to but that doesn't worry us too much, TM is on her third bottle of Bolly and OTL is working his way down a fine bottle of Laphroaig with a couple of bottles of the local brew in reserve!
See you all tomorrow, providing we are not swept out to sea!
Luv,
McDaisy,
McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty
McSpporan.
Glad to hear you've landed in McScotland. The photos are brilliant. You've picked a great spot. Have lots of fun on those beaches, Mcswimming, McChasing, McWhizzing and of course McSniffing. Have a good night all of you and I hope Holly gets a bit more bed tonight. Love from auntie Di x x
ReplyDeleteYo McMaties. So glad you've arrived safely even if you are a bit later than you planned. Wow it looks good up there. Loved the pictures. You look very comfie in the back of the car and under that duvet. I didn't hear you singing your car singing songs when you went by, were you singing very quietly? Remember to watch out for them nelly fish cos I hear they can sting and you don't want to get stung. Good to see all the ferrets enjoying their run up there. Holly chops is very brave going in the water and getting her feet wet. Now yesterday I was in the vets having my teeth cleaned, I couldn't have any brekkie before I went but my mum took me a packed lunch to have for when I woke up. I managed to get sprung by 1.30 so I went home and let my mum know I wasn't too happy with her. She thought I should have a very quiet afternoon and do lots of snoozing, so first I said I wanted to go upstairs to bed, after 5 minutes I said I wanted to go downstairs and snooze on the sofa, then I decided to snooze on the other sofa, then I decided I wanted a wee, then I decided I wanted some scoff then I said I wanted a snooze, you get the picture. My mum said perhaps I should go in my box and snooze in there......... wot a swizz. I didn't give her any kisses yesterday but today I've decided to forgive her as long as she doesn't take me and leave me again, although, I did like all the fuss and attention I got when I was there. My mum has bought me a new toothbrush, it's a blue one and it's got a cover with a nargles head on it. I hope you haven't come across any nargles up there. Well I'm feeling a tad sleepy so I'm off to bed in a minute. I did miss you but I'm really glad you've arrived. Have a happy holiday all. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little (very brave boy) Arch and the Nippers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
