Catching Up

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Its been a while since I last did a blog entry, there’s just times when you don’t feel like sitting down in front of a computer to type something. August has been a pretty lousy month with lots of things going wrong - sick dogs & sick cars. Probably the one good time was a short break to Dumfries & Galloway testing out the caravan before we used it for the Munster Circuit. I took Twiggy & Weasel with me, we stayed at a super campsite near Dumfries. It had lots of walks for the dogs either through woods or across farmland Twiggy really enjoyed shambling amongst the trees. The dogs took to the caravan well, it must have been a lot more comfortable for them than the tent - the only problem was waking from a good sleep to find Weasel’s nose two inches from my face - its a bit of a shock.

Dumfries & Galloway is an area we’ve only ever driven through to or from Stranraer but it was an excellent place for a holiday with a bit of everything. Hills, sea cliffs, beaches, castles, beaches, little harbours and even a distillary at Bladnoch. Well worth going back again.
