Happy New Year to my lovely readers and commenters. Gail and I hope your 2023 is filled with all the things that bring you great joy.
I like to think I am instrumental in bringing joy to Gail's life (notwithstanding the chewed up glasses, parking permit, bank card etc.)
But I have noticed that I am 'necessary but not sufficient' and that another of Gail's loves is to go out riding her bicycle with friends near and far.
So it is that on Tuesday this week, Gail is heading to Cuba (yes, CUBA!) for a cycling tour with a bunch of her American pals, and I am going to be spending the best part of three weeks boarding with my relatives at Craigmancie Foxies.
To be honest, I'm rather looking forward to rampaging around the Craigmancie farmyard with my extended WFT family. I think Gail is looking forward to her first venture overseas since October 2019, and to seeing her close friend Marse after a four year break, although I have detected that she seems uncharacteristically anxious about her forthcoming trip, and keeps changing her mind about what to put in her suitcase.
Normal service will resume on this blog around 21st January. (I do hope Gail won't forget it's my first birthday on the 25th...)
Happy New Year, Gail and Nobby! Both of you are off to a very fun start!
ReplyDeleteWell, it seems that you are both happy with your arrangements. Have a great time and we look forward to reports and photos upon your return.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you all.
Love,

Happy New Year, Gail and Nobby! Congratulations on an exciting trip with close friends. We look forward to hearing all about your (G and N) respective adventures.
ReplyDeleteI hope you both have wonderful vacations and look forward to pictures and narrative when you return. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOh Nobby safe travels to Gail. Knowing how much she loves cycling, I'm quite excited for her. One thing she must have in the suitcase is a camera. I look forward to all her photos. As for you Nobby, I know those who share your DNAs will be quite excited to learn what you have learned since went to live with Gail.
ReplyDeleteHugs and see you on January 21st.

Nobby I am so happy you are going back to your orgingal home to visit friends/relavtives and tell Gail she will only be 466 K from our house, that is flight miles, and 1 hr 49 minutes from Cuba to US... wish she was coming to FL to ride, Have a safe and happy ride and take time to take photos for us.

ReplyDeleteWell, Nobby... you be sure to have a report card filled with more ticks than crosses for Gail to witness on her return, 'kay? And do pass Gail my very best wishes for a happy and adventurous trip! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
That sounds like an exciting adventure for Gail and a fun vacation for you, Nobby. Happy New Year to both of you!
ReplyDeleteWow! That sounds like quite an adventure! I hope your Gail stays safe during her travels, and you, Nobby, have fun staying at your relative's place! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't get a basket on the front of Gail's bike then? When we went to get Mr B's new bike we saw some special panniers for k9s. My humans offered to get one for me but I prefer my Donkey. Tell Gail my humans are cheering her on - be adventurous they say. Xxx Mr T

That is awesome. There should be a lot of great pictures and stories. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteWe wish Gail smooth travels and hope you have the most wonderful time at camp. Our people are going on their first trip together since October 2019 in February. Lady was looking at a map of Scotland today as she was reading some of the genealogy her dad has put together and she showed us where you live as she has ancestors from Ornkey Islands. Happy New Year - Lee and Phod
