Ok, so we have the Fantacy Tour section and let's face it none of us are really up to much. So what would we like to be doing today Here goes -  Lovely day so we are off to NT Hidcote Gardens, in the Cotswolds. Strangely there is hardly anyone here (I can't think why) firstly we walk through the beautiful gardens where all the plants are bursting into life. Then through the wooded part, where the trees are covered in tiny spring green leaves and the blue bells are just coming out. On to the open space where we can see right across the Cotswold hills. The young lambs are calling to their mothers as they then run to suckle. On to the vegetable garden, where the volunteers are planting out young vegetables from the greenhouse. Now off to the tea garden, we might even have cake today as they have slices of Victoria Sponge that are calorie free!

Today and for the week, we would have had our youngest grandchild staying with us and would have probably taken a trip out somewhere as the weather is so great. May have even took off to the seaside in the motorhome.

You won't need the shells at all if you head to a certain stretch of the dunes though!  surprisedlaughinglaughing

I’ll have you know the shells are for the garden young man!🤣

We know the beach well, the dogs are always sent on ahead to roust out “the poppers”. Don’t mind the nudists, but the “dune lurkers” are something else😲 We once had one strut up to us and friends, complete with a huge device where a device shouldn’t really be, and ask if he could have his photo taken with the dogs! Probably centre spread in that Month’s “Lurkers Gazette”. 🤣🤣 

Besides, Cornwall has some excellent more remote spots for a bit of skinny dipping.........👍

We should have been at Ullapool for the next couple of days. Much as we would like to be away, we are not sorry to be missing this bit of our tour, as it's blowing a gale and 4 inches of rain are forecast.😀

Would be nice to be sailing in the Trossachs, staying on Maragowan site at Killin!

Think I would have to shelter from this wind!

Well the storms I mentioned above, would have been well worth weathering, as this morning we would have been waking up to glorious sunshine overlooking Sango Bay at Durness. Perhaps a walk along to Balnakeil bay later. In fact the whole of the next week isn't looking that bad, as the high pressure asserts itself. Not the 25C of down here but dry and very acceptable. Hopefully it will be similar next year (without the storm😂) We are planning the same trip and I have transferred bookings and deposits where possible and will sort the ones I can't do nearer the time.

I am still in Cornwall, the weather is superb, the sea is warm, and the swarm hasn’t arrived yet. Just meeting up with some friendly locals for a nice meal in a lovely eatery. Keeping those dreams alive.......
