Brave

 A little outing on buses to Troon today for the health food shop...and I saw these...one bird at least on every ridge tile...




Then back to Prestwick to the travel agent...

Tickets booked and paid for...all that needs doing is the online check in 48 hours before, both ends...and she will do that...and renewing my visa..we couldn't do it today as incredibly the last one is still valid!!

Then home and supper and enter Velo Retro at the end of May ...a 30 mile ride based at Ulverston in the Lake District. I will ride Pirate's Eroba bike ( dated 1961) so I need to get fit enough...plans are in hand for that!!

Now do I camp then or not ????

Be brave! Camp! If you want.

Barbara Rogers said...

Wonderful time with preparations for a trip to a place, and people, that you really care for!

Steve Reed said...

I'm glad you're getting away to NZ! Are those starlings on the roof tiles? Looks like quite a large flock.

I don't know about you, but my camping days are over. :D

Campsite booked!!

Sending a ((( big hug)))

I think they were starlings. Too big for sparrows.
I thought my camping days were over....

We need to get booked soon too. We are going in February. I've got a couple of books on NZ now, so can plan some places I'd like to go to, but Rosie will of course show us round her neck of the woods. Still debating route there and back - maybe Dubai on way there (air conditioned airport and a good book and somewhere to stretch legs . . .) It would be nice to come home via the States though. I'm unlikely to get the chance again.

gz said...

May even see you there!!

Fresca said...

Thank you, GZ. It’s weird here in the US. My state (Minnesota) did go for Harris at least.
And congratulations on the campsite!

Debby said...

If you come home through the States, I hope that you will let me know where you'll be.

Debby said...

I knew that you would camp. You're an adventurer. How long will you stay in NZ?

gz said...

No, both flights through Dubai

gz said...

Two months...I wish that it could be longer...but there are things I need to get established here.
