Hello! On honeymoon, from the Northern Isles!

Yes, definitely avoid Cornwall in the school holidays! September is often nice down here. 

Another musician joining in with extra congratulations! ... one who still hasn't got Sibelius, though I do rely on MuseScore now, but have stacks of handwritten MS still lurking in cupboards & shelves

Fiona, do you have any instruments travelling with you?

 Didn't realise you were a musician too Hedgehurst!  The trouble with Sibelius is that it's so expensive.  Mine is an older version, but still serves me well.  Never used MuseScore - perhaps I'll take a look.

Ah, Sibelius! When I auditioned for the degree (after many years as a musician and music teacher first!!) they were astonished I'd published a book of my music, all hand written with a fountain pen... I've been forced into Sibelius since then and yes it's handy but I still like to be able to hand write! 

We are indeed taking our fiddles, my husband is one of Shetland's best fiddlers and I'm sure we'll be having a few tunes along the way (at sensible times, obviously!)

We played ourselves down the aisle at the wedding.... may have made history! Our guests' faces were a picture! 

Sounds wonderful.  As a Church organist, I have seen many weddings, but never one quite like that!  😀

After trying to add our profile pic I now realise there's a problem with the system....  meantime, this was the photo I was attempting to use! If you see us around over the summer feel free to request a tune!

I think there are problems with adding a profile picture.  Those of us with profile pictures are mainly folk who have had profile picture for ages.

Hello! Congratulations from Italy! I wish I could visit your area one day on a very long caravan trip.

Congratulations Fiona and Trevor and may you have a wonderful time on your travels.  I think one of the hardest things is deciding where to go!  Just be careful of weekends - they can be very booked up these days.  Gone are the times you could just rock up at almost any campsite! 

I am hoping to return to visit more of the Orkney Islands - my last trip was cut a bit short because I managed to get the caravan on the boat to Shetland - much as I loved that - it may be a trip I won't repeat - just too far! 

Thanks!

Shetland is far AND expensive! They've get rid of the main campsite and built a new school in its place too :(

We've booked everything, despite not really wanting to be so organised, as I'm aware it gets busy. 

We are visiting Kinlochewe, Bunree, Hawes, Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia, 2 places in the Cotswolds and 2 in the Lake District before finishing off in the Cairngorms, my favourite place in the world. 

Saving Devon and Cornwall for a less busy time of year....
