We can Sniff a change in the weather!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy Eric de Ferret and Monty here again!

The Missus got a shock when she picked up a ferret blanket from off the floor in the garden, there was a small grass snake underneath getting warm in the morning sun! According to TM it was only a baby one 'cos it was about two or three inches long.

Our garden has got all the ingredients for a grass snake, we got a pond with a boggy bit on the side.

We also got a big plastic bin that is a compost bin if the grass snake fancies a sauna!

I'm sure I don't like snakes but I've never seen one, yet, so I'm keeping a close watch on and grassy bit left in the garden, just in case!

Monty and Wendy came with us this morning and when we got to the sea wall the sea was flat calm. I mean, not even a small breeze!

All we need is a big sailing ship and we can call it a Turner type of picture!
 Just for a change, both ferrets arrived, walked around and went back home in the travelling cage without so much as a squeak from Miss Wendy, progress!

This doesn't mean you can creep into my bed for a cuddle!
 Back home Old Two Legs was busy getting all the last bits of paper into a neat pile so he can start working on them next Monday!

Lunchtime we left Eric at home 'cos he was a little tired after his rampage around the house. Miss May decided to stay as well 'cos it was getting too muggy!

OTL has been getting more drops in her eye and today she had her eye open more often than over the last few days, so, we have our claws crossed that her eye is getting better!

Because of the muggy weather we were not in the mood to dash about, it was more of a 'Sniff Day'!

Mind you, that caused me problems. You see, as I stick my nose into the grass and undergrowth a lot of the grass seeds and undergrowth seeds hang onto my nose and ears and head and all down my legs!

They don't half hurt when they stick in your legs and ears!

OTL was given the job of picking them all out including the ones between my claws!

Holly and I decided to stay on the path and sniff the sniffs there instead of hunting through the undergrowth!

OTL was interested in the flowers that were blooming at the moment and clicked off a few pictures!

Well, he didn't get as close as this but it made a change from the whole flower!
 This one looked better showing the whole bloom, we did like the veins in the petals!

Just after we took this one a big bee landed and started munching away at the pollen!
 This one is pretty, no insects but there was a sniff that started OTL sneezing again!

OTL reckons this is called a Hay Fever Plant!
 Holly and I woofed at a couple of Two Legs walking along the Sea Wall and they both started to walk quickly away, like they were frightened of a couple of little woofers like wot we are!

That showed them didn't it?
 I must admit, the heat was getting to me and I really didn't feel like chasing anything, not even the rabbit that appeared a bit further up the path!

I'll be glad to get back to a shady spot under the desk!
We are expecting Alun and Glynis to turn up soon and you know what that means?

Yep! They will be on the Giggle Juice and telling tall tales!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy Eric de Ferret and Mont.

Wednesday in the sun and OTL has to work!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty the Monster here!

Another warm and sunny day!

We do just love these sunny days, in fact it must have been years since we have had such a long run of good weather.

Mind you, the weather man says that today there 'may be an isolated rain cloud' whatever that means!
We took Monty and Wendy out this morning and they were both good little ferrets on the way to the beach but we did hear a squeak or two on the way back home!

Come on, sniffs this way!
The grass has gone a funny brown colour, not the normal green we are used to!

Old Two Legs got a call from one of his customer about their radio system 'wasn't working' so as normal, they were all in a panic and wanted him to attend..........NOW!

OTL said that he was working but would call in as soon as possible.

Then he took us for our midday walk!

I mean, things don't come more important than us woofers!

Down on the Sea Wall Holly was enjoying watching the ships go up the Thames and watching the sea gulls plonking around in the mud looking for their lunch. 

Well, I wouldn't eat from that lot!
 Eric, who had joined us for our lunchtime walk, agreed and said that you really had to be in trouble if you were going to eat muddy food!

I'd much prefer a Wriggly Mouse or a Shrew!
 Eric joined me in hunting for wriggly things in the grass but he made just too much noise and scared all the mouses off!

Look, clear off and find your own wriggly!
 When we got back to the football field Holly found wot she called a 'Super Sniff' and proceeded to have the most wriggly roll, in front of OTL!

Let's see him try to wash off this sniff!
Miss May is still causing havoc when OTL tries to put the drops in her eye, we think OTL has had more than she has!

Tomorrow we got Alun and Glynis arriving for the weekend and they all are off to the Kent County Show but without us woofers!

Not that we mind too much, Auntie Sheila will be looking after us and making sure we don't get into too much trouble!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,


Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty.

A New Kettle for The Missus!

Hello Woofers!

Yes, here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty the Mad!

It's been another one of those days that Old Two Legs gets caught out, again!

Today started off OK, we were up good and early but today OTL decided to leave Eric at home and take out both Miss Wendy and Monty, in the travelling cage, together!

Well, we were expecting screaming and howling and blood up the walls but surprise, surprise, not a sound!

Does OTL know something we don't?

Well, OTL reckoned that two and a bit weeks together in a much smaller 'Holiday Cage' may have taught Wendy and Monty to get on with each other!

It seems to have worked, we have had the odd squeak from Wendy but there didn't seem to be any real force behind the squeak, if you know what I mean.

Once down on the football field they were even walking together!

Careful! I'm getting twitchy!
 As the pair were walking together Holly and I decided to teach them some of our 'Walking Secrets'.

Now. Holly went on an advanced tracking course a while ago and learnt some of the 'Indian Sand Warriors' methods of hiding their paw prints in the sand. You see, instead of walking side by side, having a chat, the Sand Warriors walk in line and that way anyone tracking them wouldn't know how many they were 'cos all the tracks would be mixed up!

Clever Woofer is our Holly!
Come on, keep in line and keep up!
Monty thought it was a great lesson in tracking but little Wendy was more interested in sniffs and having a wee on the paw prints!

Around eleven, Miss May and OTL headed off to the vets to have Mays sore eye looked at again. She still keeps the yey closed most of the time but since having the drops in her eye she seems a little better but not cured.

OTL and the vet discussed the options on offer from keeping on with the drops, or maybe a Jel to wipe over her eye and finally removal of the eye!

OTL decided to keep on with the drops and see what it was like when the drops run out.

Back comes May and OTL, may gets another drop in the eye and heads off to bed.

By now, it's time for our second walk of the day and just to stop him rattling on the cage, we took Eric along with us!

That gives May time to get some sleep in before he comes back!

We were down on the grass path sniffing the sniffs when the wind changed a little and we got the full force of the Southend Sniffs, you know, Fish & Chips, Kebab & Chips, Sausage in Batter & Chips, Whelks & Chips, Winkles & Chips and Crab Meat & Chips!

Eric and I had great fun identifying each sniff as it rolled off the sea and across the grass!

Oh! Get that one! Rock Salmon & Chips!
Seeing how I have a very sensitive nose, I was soon far ahead of Eric who got fed up and marched off pretending to be a Sand Warrior!

Try guessing how many of me there are!
Well, that was all OK and we arrived home to find The Missus getting her High Heeled Wellies on ready to go out shopping. It seems she has decided that it was time we had a new kettle and a new electric toaster!

I mean, as OTL says, there is nothing wrong with the ones we have but TM just wanted the electric stuff to 'Match'!

Holly and I decided to stay at home 'cos doggies are not allowed into the shop and it was just too hot to stay in the car!

OTL came back, crying 'cos TM waltzed around the shop pointing to kettles and toasters then marched off to the checkout.

She had OTL's arm half way up his back while at the same time she was fishing his wallet out from his very deep pocket!

We do hate it when OTL comes home crying!

Delivery will be three to five days so we will have to use the old ones until them.

Shame!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty.

Just Too Hot!

Hi Woofers!

We are all hot and bothered!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty The Monster Ferret!

What a day! We started out with a stiff breeze coming in off the sea but that didn't last too long and out came the sun. Eric was all for getting down and having a good run along the Sea Wall but after a few steps even he decided to 'Slow Down A Bit'!

Hang on, this is still hot from yesterday!
 Old Two Legs told him to 'Get up on the Grass' and although the grass was cooler on his paws it was still too hot to rampage!

Maybe it will be cooler on top of the grass path!
We got home and as usual, OTL got his breakfast ready while Eric and May went on their rampage around the house.

May's eye is a little better but most of the time it is closed. OTL says it is almost impossible to get any drops in her eye 'cos as soon as the drops hit her eye she shakes her head and covers OTL with the stuff!

Now, how about this for progress?
Slurp, Slurp, Slurp, Slurp, Slurp, Slurp, Slurp, Slurp!
 That is Wendy and Monty having a communal slurp of Lactose Free Milk at breakfast! Wendy is reducing the number of times she has a go at Monty and he is getting a bit braver as the day pass.
He still gets thrown out of bed if he tries to creep in for a cuddle so he still has a way to go yet but little steps and one day he will allowed to snooze in the same bed!

 At lunchtime OTL doesn't take the ferrets out 'cos it is still too hot, even with an on shore breeze blowing, it is still too hot for ferrets!

It can stay like this all summer, we won't complain at all!
 Mind you, Holly Chops is a bit slower in this weather and just plods along in her own sweet time.

She doesn't do 'Rushing about' unless there is a rabbit up ahead and then it's more of a token chase!

I see the muddy foam is back again!
 We have found that once the sun has passed midday, OTL's office is cool and gets a good breeze blowing in through the windows!

Holly and I plus the ferrets all enjoy a good snooze.

So does OTL but today he over did it. You see, there he was sitting in his office chair that has a tall back and a head rest, back he leans and reaches out for his box file that is under the shelving. Only, he is half asleep and he leans back just a little too much and..................over he goes..........crunch!

Holly and I thought it was great fun and both of us jumped onto him and gave him a good licking, just to make sure he wasn't hurt!

Mind you, he was laughing his tail off!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty The Monster!

Too hot to do any weeding!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are, all hot and bothered!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty Chops the Ferret!

It has been one of those 'Lazy Days', well for Holly and I anyway!

It started off with an early morning walk with Eric down by the sea side but even with a gentle breeze you could tell it was going to get a lot warmer as the day progressed!

After doing the early morning chores, Old Two Legs went out to the garden armed with a syringe full of 'Plant Poison' and set about injecting the stems of this 'Rouge' plant that has found it's way into our garden and pond side. Last year it almost took over everywhere and started to kill off the plants we wanted to grow beside the pond!

This year OTL has been seen creeping around stabbing the stems and squirting the leaves with this plant killer!

It seems to be working but we still get shoots poking up and as soon as that happens, in goes OTL, syringe in hand!

This year the reeds are doing very well and the Pond Lily has made a real come back!

Much better this year!
 Lunchtime we dropped into the village hall with Miss Wendy so young Rosie could give her a cuddle and a drink of water!

And after a drink and a cuddle, back into the cage you go!
Of course, while Wendy was getting cuddles, Holly and I went off looking for any nickable scoff we could find.

You know what? They had eaten all the scoff and didn't leave any for a couple of poor starving woofers!

No scoff, just glue and glitter, again!
We didn't hang about, I mean, no scoff, no strokes, and anyway we were in need of a sniff and a wee!

As we crossed the football field we met up with 'Bob the Staffy Bozo'!

He is a big friendly woofer who thinks that OTL is wonderful 'cos OTL can take his ball away and throw it for him!

Apparently there are not too many Two Legs who can do that!

Yo OTL! Wanna play 'Throw the Ball'?
 OTL threw the ball a few times but Bob started to get warm so we had to stop that game!

One of the things about being away is our path becomes overgrown and we miss out on the sniffs.

OTL says that he has to be very careful 'cos it would be oh so easy to loose a ferret in the long grass!

Nah! No Ferrets or Nargles but was that a Weasel wee?
 All today The Missus has been up the village hall with her mates slinging the glue and glitter around and having a great time. Let's hope she doesn't get too tired 'cos OTL says they are going out tonight!

Seems they have a party to go to and it will be a BBQ, OTL hates BBQ's 'cos they are outside where all the flowers and grass are throwing the pollen about and he has had a couple of bad BBQ's where he eat a sausage that was black on the outside and uncooked in the middle!

OTL says he don't do BBQ's on account he doesn't want to end up with a Grumbly Tum!

Miss May's eye is getting better, well she is opening it a bit more often but OTL still has great difficulty in getting the drops in her eye, most of the drops end up on OTL's face as May shakes her head as soon as the drops hit her eye!

It's a good game!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty Chops the Ferret!

Well, it's a Beach but not like we're used to!

Hi Woofers!


Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty the Monster back again!

I must say, this good weather has lasted a very long time and with only one hiccup when Storm Hector passed us by!

We left little Miss May at home this morning 'cos of her bad eye. Eric didn't mind too much 'cos it enabled him to have sniffs in places she wouldn't want to sniff!

She is very particular where she sniffs, unlike Eric!

Today Old Two Legs got back into line regarding when to clean the ferret cages and the ferrets had left just a little more poo than normal 'cos OTL was a few hours over the normal twenty four hours cycle!

Down on the beach the tide was out first thing but I planned to have a swim at lunchtime but the tide was still coming in up the beach and to be honest, there was some scum on the front of the tide that even I thought was a little too mucky to swim in!

It might be a bit mucky, but it's home!
 Looking back on the holiday, that beach and water was just great but it's a long way to go for a swim!
Trouble is, it's so far away!
 Another thing is the grass, like it is almost the same colour as it was in Scotland, burnt! Mind you, with the amount sunshine that is burning the grass and the lack of growth, you don't need to mow the grass so often!
Yep! Looks the same as in Scotland!
 OTL took the camera out today and managed to find some Soldier Beatles on the thistles along the grass path.

Before too long we expect to see the Dragon Flies out and zooming about all over the place!

When that happens, OTL says that he may go off to Stodmarsh to try photographing the big dragon flies!
It's that time of the year again!
 Today when we let Wendy and Monty out for a morning rampage, there was not the hostility from Wendy and OTL says that spending two weeks in a smaller cage has forced them to be a little friendlier towards each other.

Mind you, that didn't stop Wendy from having a little squeak now and again!

They will end up being friends once Wendy gets over loosing Freddy!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty Babe!

The Grass has Grown!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are, all back safe and sound!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty Babe!

Yes, late yesterday we arrived out the front of the house and it was still there, in one bit except for the smashed urn in the back garden where we also found a cats collar!

We reckon some pussy cat got beaten up good and proper while we were away!

The garden and pond look lovely and there were flowery stuff growing out of the cracks in the path. A patch of poppies have sprung up at the bottom of the garden where Old Two Legs laid down a bed of stones to keep the weeds away!

There were loads of letters and emails that have needed to be sorted and that's what OTL has been doing today, plus, Miss May had to go to the vet 'cos she has an ulcer in her right eye that is rather sore. She had to be left with the vet so they could have a close look and it took a whiff of gas to knock her out enough for a close inspection!

As normal, OTL came out with a bottle of jollop to put in her eyes twice a day and a bill to pay off the national debt!

We also got an email advising that Holly and I are due for our Vaccination and Healthcheck towards the end of July!

More money!

Down on the sea front I rushed into the sea for a dip at lunchtime but it wasn't the same as Scotland and the water tasted a bit muddy!

All today OTL has been 'Engineering' to get some of the orders out that arrived while we were away.

Holly and I have been enjoying some snoozys while all this has been going on and The Missus has Glynis and Uncle Alun arrive in time for the Kent County Show!

We always enjoy going to the show, the sniffs are fantastic and some of those poos are the size of mountains!

Off to see if dinner is ready, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty Babe! 

Tuesday, 26 June 2018

All back together now!

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran it's us again!


Well now, yesterday we cleaned the caravan and waved the vacuum cleaner around to get rid of all the sand and grass and Brambles Biscuits plus whatever else has fallen on the floor!

The caravan was all tidy ready for The Missus to arrive, only problem, she was many, many miles away and so was the car!

The hire car had been making a bonging sounds as soon as you got over forty five miles an hour, it's been driving us and Old Two Legs potty!

Well, yesterday OTL was looking under the bonnet and decided that he really didn't know what he was looking at or for, I mean, it was all computer controlled!

So he decided to shut the bonnet and he did with just a little more force than you would have expected the bonnet to be shut.

Off we went heading for Glasgow first to pick up the motor.

At or around sixty miles per hour there was no bonging sound, a firm closure of the bonnet had 'de-bonged' the car!

All it needed was a firm hand!

Well, when we got to the car menders we were told that the car was still being worked on and would we like to wait? OTL got permission for us woofers to come into the air conditioned waiting room where we got loads of attention, strokes and a bowl of chilled water!

As they were doing the MOT, they found that one of the suspension springs was cracked, so that was another little surprise for OTL!

Finally, the bills were all paid and off we went heading now towards Dumfries where TM was sitting in a country hotel, sipping coffee and munching on little pastries while waiting for us!

We kept on getting messages from her, like, 'Are you here yet?', no sense of time, that's her problem!

Well, to cut a long journey short, we got back to the caravan around twelve thirty, a little tired and in need of a good snooze!

McHolly was so tired that she didn't bother with her dinner, it was just too much effort!

Not me, I was starving and soon was ear deep in a bowl of Doggy Scoff' and didn't even come up for air!

The next morning even McHolly was still tired but decided that a morning snooze before dinner was the best cure!

Just a quick snooze of an hour or so!
 Me on the other paw decided that a dip in the sea chasing sticks would wake me up!

The only problem is that I tend to over do it a bit and found out that it got rather cold the longer I stayed in the sea!

OTL decided that I was shivering too much and we headed off for the caravan for a rub down with a Doggy Towel then a snooze in the sunshine in the window of the caravan!

After a while, me bits get a bit chilly!
 This afternoon the awning comes down and then we will be ready for an early start for Gretna where we have been promised, Plawn Clackers, Plawn Balls, King Plawns and Bolly, well OTL and TM can have the Bolly!

Now, as Auntie Sue has come back from the Isle of Wight, did she see any red squirrels? We have heard that they still survive there!

Archie Babe, stay away from the fox poo, it can be habit forming!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran.



Sunday, 24 June 2018

Sunday is for relaxing!

Hello Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran back again!


What a lot is happening to us this year! As you know the car has a sore spot and is getting fixed plus The Missus just 'Had' to get to Dumfries yesterday so she can do the Master Class for all the Ladies Wot Craft!
I must admit, it was a long days driving, all the way from Campbeltown to Dumfries and back again!

We had several stops on the way and one was at a place OTL had visited when he was into climbing Munro's, in fact, at the time of the visit he was with his Mate Miffy (Married to the Cat Lady) and they were looking for a bird called a Dipper.

They didn't see the bird but Holly and I had a wee each, so that made up for it!

We did see some ferrets, well, they looked like ferrets but McHolly took a close look and said they were otters and on top was an eagle, a Golden Eagle.
Well they look like Ferrets to me!
McHolly and I wandered off down the park a bit until we found a good place for a wee, it was almost the best wee of the day!
Ohhh! I really need this!
 On the way back to the car we passed the eagle again and after close inspection, we reckon that the things on the bottom were indeed Otters. Still, otters are the same family as ferrets only bigger!

Bet they do fishy poo!

Off we went and after a long time we got back to the caravan in time for another wee and some cold chicken.

McHolly was up all night with a Grumbly Tum and of course OTL had to get out of bed, get dressed and take her out. This went on until three thirty when McHolly was all poo'd out!

Mind you, I felt a little grumbly today so I made sure when we went out for our walk, I washed my butt in the sea!

If I wiggle my tail it washes my butt as well!
 We met up with three big woofers who came over for a sniff  but they didn't stay long!

Be Warned, I've got a grumbly tum, so if you know what's good for you, stay away from my butt!
McHolly Chops has such a way with words!

Most of the time we have the beach to ourselves and can do what ever we want, including falling over into the sand!

Oops! Fallen over again!
 Trouble is, Old Two Legs can soon spot when McHolly has been shoving her nose in the sand again!

It was an accident, honest!
Mind you, today has been wonderful as far as the sun goes, I mean, as Holly said, 'It Just Don't get any better than this'!

Perfect, just perfect!
We are off tomorrow to pick up the car and TM, with a bit of luck!

Bye for now!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran!

Friday, 22 June 2018

Why does it happen to OTL?

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran back with you!

Well, yesterday we didn't get to put a blog up, sorry, blame Old Two Legs for that!

We got a 4x4 Mercedes car which OTL just loves and he reckons it will do him until he can't drive any more! Problem is, the car and engine work very well but the car is full of sensors that monitor wot's going on.

We got sensors that monitor if the wheels lock and then the computer takes over and lets the brakes on or off to bring the car under control. Then it has sensors that monitor the quality of air going into the engine and makes adjustment to the fuel/air mixture to make it all efficient and sweet smelling!
The engine is stuffed full of sensors to make sure everything is doing wot it should at the right time.

A wonderful engine, just crappy sensors!

We keep getting sensors breaking and that was the reason we had to get the car off to Glasgow and the Mercedes men wiv the correct spanners to fix it!

OTL had to get a transporter down to the caravan site to load up and drive the car and OTL to Lochgilphead where it was loaded onto another, larger transporter and onto Glasgow.

On the way, OTL was in deep conversation with Mercedes, the RAC and Eurocar to try to get everything to click together!

Well it was a 90% success, hire car arrived on time, RAC got the car into Glasgow on time. The Mercedes people said they could fix it, but not until Monday!

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

You can imaging The Missus getting her knickers in a twist!

So, OTL is going to drive her over to a hotel near where her Master Class is taking place so she won't be late, then, on Monday the car should be repaired. So, it's drop off hire car, pick up our car then pick up TM and back to the caravan.

All told it just lengthens our holiday by two days!

Now, we don't mind that too much and on top of that we get to drive around is a sporty Mercedes while and enjoy the sunshine that is covering the Mull of Kintyre!

Today, OTL felt a little tired and spend some time seeing if he could get a ferry across tomorrow but found that the only sailing was at 07:00hr and didn't return until 17:45hr or summat like that and any way it was already booked!

There is another double ferry trip that takes in the Isle of Arran was abandoned as being the weekend there would be too many visitors and a space couldn't be guaranteed!

So, it's back to circumnavigating the Firth of Clyde and landing in Dumfries the long way around. About 250 miles there and 250 miles back, a whole 9 hours excluding traffic jams!

We will sleep well tomorrow night!

Today we had one of those Micro Lite Hairyplanes land on our beach! I mean, it didn't even have permission to land!

Mind you, it didn't crash, it just sort of belly flopped onto the sand, came to a halt and its wing drooped to one side!

It was a good job there was no one on the beach!
 There was plenty of sand for him to land, the tide was out and the sand was quite hard!
 
No, not Barbados, it's Carradale Bay!

 Holly had a close look at the Micro Lite and reckoned she could fly it with no problems, it was only the matter of finding a helmet that would fit her!

Now, Holly reckons it should have a jet engine instead of a propeller!
 Hey! Wot about this then? This is the super duper hire car that OTL has to drive.  The SatNav is like a big TV screen and you operate it with a round sort of computer mouse, OTL hates it cos there are no instructions in the car on how to set it up, so it is all 'Trial & Error' with the emphasis on Error!

It's OK but it would never tow the caravan!

It's OK but OTL says he would never buy one!

OK, that's all for today, a bit long but we are wondering just why is it that we always have a 'Challenge' for OTL when we go on holiday!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran.
