Sunday in Scotland

 

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here!

Well, we think we are here, the internetty connection is so bad that Old Two Legs is doing his crunch and keeps calling it names!

Nothing new there then!

Loved the new ZoooM game from Archie Babe, we would like to do that but the carpet wouldn't slide on our floor cos it's nailed down and all we would get is carpet burns!

Last night OTL was out with the camera again and he was trying 'stacking' which means he takes two thirty second pictures of the same thing but doesn't wind on the film, but digitally, if you know what we mean.

Well, the Milky Way wasn't a success, we reckon he needs three or maybe four thirty second bursts before he can get the stars to stand out. However, looking to the east, we got this shot of the sun coming up in the east not too long after it set in the west, well either that or we were getting the lights from Glasgow!

Still, it don't look too bad!

Today we have been lazy, The Missus has been crafting while Holly and I have been woofing at OTL to take us out for runs on the beach or swimming in the river!

3107

The ferrets have been out every morning for a run and when they get back from their walk they rampage around the caravan hiding the squeaky balls or fighting with each other!

3099

As normal, Eric is the biggest trouble maker!

3096

Holly and I are hiding up on the bed when they are rampaging about and every time Eric gets close we give him a good woofing!

3091

There have been times when Eric has climbed up the side of the bed and has been hanging on the blanket with his claws!

See you tomorrow, if the Wi-Fi is working!

I’m sorry but we have hit a wall, computer wise that is. For some reason our picture editing has fallen over and refuses to get up!

All we have is an iPod that allows text only, so, if you can do without pictures until we get home we can tell you tales of daring doing and stuff like that!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Night Time on the Caravan Site

 Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here in sunny Scotland!

While we think about it, Holly reckons she heard Archie Babe on our way up the motorway and she called back but didn't hear Archie Babe again 'cos The Missus was woken up and she loudly told Holly to desist from woofing!

I've been in swimming in the river and getting soaking wet and to finish it off, I've had a good roll in the sand to help dry my off!

Old Two Legs reckons he could do the sand dance in the caravan wot with all the sand that has come off my when I get dried!

Now, this caravan site only has a light over the loo and what ever the Two Legs leave on when they settle down for evening of boozing. So, OTL goes wandering out with us and looks up to the sky and see's the Milky Way, Ooooo! Says OTL, I'd like to take a picture of that and last night he cut down realistically on the whisky so he could go with the camera and tripod and have a bash at the click click thing he does with the camera! 

 Well, the one thing he aint going to do is published in the National Geographic Magazie! But at least you can see the Milky Way, (that's the whiteish smudgy bit up the middle!

Next he tried the Great Bear but we think he left the shutter open too long and every star looks the same!

Mind you, if you know your stars you should be able to pick out the Plough!

The plough is right in the middle!

I must say, I prefer the day time and a run on the beach but with all the Two Legs running about it does get a bit crowded sometimes!

 You can almost see Holly through the crouds!

OTL is going out again tonight to try double stacking the photos and see what happens then to the Milky Way!

See you tomorrow

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Two bottles of Bolly later!

 Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret back on line again!

Seems that with this new Wi-Fi thingy, the system needed Old Two Legs to re-register himself!

All very tecknikal!

Well, here we are in Carradale, overlooking the sea and the beach wot is over a quarter of a mile long and is full of sniffs and things to roll in and dig up!

Since being up here, The Missus and OTL have got through Two Bottles of Bolly! I mean, wot a pair of pigglies!

Wot is more, TM has set up shop in the awning telling anyone who stops, that she loves baubles!

Guess who is just showing off with her baubles!

Mind you, it is easy to get OTL to forget the computer and take us out for a walk one the sand, providing there are not too many TL's on the beach!

I just hate crowds!

Mind you, when we got around the corner there was a small river where Ijust love to swim, it's not too deep and the water isn't salty!

Mind you, Holly wouldn't come in for a splash, she stayed on the beach and rolled in the sniffs and reckoned that she got wet enough rolling on the sea weed!

You just can't beat a cool stream and sunshine on your back!

OTL has tried to get into the local distillery to buy a couple of bottles of single malt but the place has been shut, so, not to be beaten, he dances off to the Tesco store and gets a couple of bottles there! OK, so they weren't the local stuff but they were whisky!

So, now tonight it will be whisky and bubbly!

I think OTL will sleep well tonight!

By for now!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

We are off in the morning!

 Yo Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here!

We have been in and out of the caravan all day today, loading up the clothes and tins of doggy dins plus the ferrets nosh!

There seems to be more crafting stuff than normal and The Missus is complaining that she feels worn out loading it into the caravan. So, that means there is more stuff than normal and a reduced space for us woofers!

First thing today Eric came with us for a run around the golf course and had great fun in the sand pit again. This time not only was he digging but he also shoved his nose into the sand to sniff any sniffs that might have got left by the rabbits who like to do digging as well!

Lunchtime we went down to the sea front where there were some strangers wandering about plus, we met up with Bob the staffy who has got a thing about giving OTL his rubber toy to throw for him. Today I got all big and brave and tried to chase after the ball but Bob was too quick and too heavy for me to shove out of the way!

The rest of the afternoon was spent packing up all of the last bits for us woofers and OTL went hunting for enough socks to last him all holiday!

Now, tomorrow we will be off early and looking for our first stop at the end of the M6 where there is a good place for us woofers to wee!

The ferrets get a walk around the grass banks and a chance for a wee as well.

After a bite to eat it's then off to Gretna Green where we will be stopping overnight, as normal.

Next day, Tuesday we will land in Carradale where we have a quarter of a mile of sand beach to run on and shallow water to have a swim in!

As we head up the M1 we will be calling out to Archie Babe, providing of course he isn't snuggled up and snoring his tail off!

Next blog will be Tuesday or Wednesday depending on just how tired we all are after the journey!

By for now.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
