Hi there, 

We live in Orkney (Trevor is from Shetland), are relatively new to caravanning (done just 18 days so far) and have just joined the Club.

For our wedding we asked for donations instead of presents, and we are setting off in our caravan around the UK for a couple of months until the money runs out! It was suggested we joined up so that we had more scope for booking at short notice in the holidays... and hopefully it will work out a little cheaper too. 

We have so far booked the first three sites, they look lovely, and getting quite excited about setting off in two weeks! 

We are hoping to cover Scotland, England and Wales. 

Cheers, 

Fiona and Trevor

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!

Superb! That would have been a wedding worth hearing! Can't quite match that, though I did play my replica Brueghel 16th Century bagpipes - at my daughter's request  - as I accompanied her down the aisle for her wedding smile
And yes, writing it out by hand is somehow more direct than thinking it into a screen, isn't it?!
Have a great trip, and may you meet many good musicians for a few sessions on your way round.
