Today was a travel day, so there isn’t really much to tell because all we did was drive from Scotland through England to Wales.
The Scottish Highlands were phenomenal, some of the most glorious scenery in the world. Each bend in the road brings a new sigh or gasp of awe. We stopped at several particularly great spots and got photos or just looked. This place feels like home to me, I love it so much.
We also passed loch Lomond, which is far more beautiful then Loch Ness.
It was terribly sad crossing the Scottish/English border, because of said love for Scotland but it had to be done. Because poor me, has to go to Ireland tomorrow. :P
England then Wales passed and through Snowdonia National Park in Wales some scenery coming close to that in the Scottish highlands was seen. We also saw some really really wild welsh mountain ponies, on the side of a mountain no less.
Also, this owned Welshie that seems to be a bit confused about the proper direction of travel.
The hotel was lovely, the best food we have had on the entire trip (excepting the Jamie Oliver restaurant in Nottingham) and beautifully furnished and decorated rooms. Let me ask you though, have you ever slept on the floor of a hotel (that you have paid for) because it is more comfortable then the bed?
Well, I have. That’s right, the floor with a few cushions was far far more comfortable then the bed supplied. The bed was soft enough to bear though without enjoyment, and a little bit squishy. But the problem was that it had these springs that you could feel with every body part that touched the mattress. Desperately in need of a mattress topper or any kind of padding built into the mattress. I could feel the ends of the springs hooking under my ribs. Eventually I could bear it no more, through down the pillows and flopped on the floor. Sleep at last.
As promised here is an update on Elizabeth Wooten Basset’s condition. Yesterday she suffered a major neurological episode. After a course of severe starvation and solitary isolation and an extensive course of electro shock treatment she appears to be recovered. A partial lobotomy was also required but she does seem to be doing better for it.
