April 2025

Spring has sprung. It's Lochs and Glens time oh and fun time.

Day1 Travel, our coach breaks down before even gets to us, so a 2 hour wait before a 2nd coach also on its way picks us up. An even longer day ahead and we reach hotel at 19:30 for Dinner at 8pm. Also found out our original coach was held up for 4 hours whilst having a faulty door fixed, so happy we got transferred to 2nd coach.

Day2 Hotel in Fort William good room with a view over loch Inness, Ben Nevis behind us. Aviemore but after yesterday so tired. But again Scotland is a wonderful place so spread out miles and miles of nothing but mountains and trees not sure how or if Amazon works out here.

Day3 The sun comes out a first for Scotland. Inverness and find a nice pub well it has to be done.

Day4 Even more sun. Oban

Day5 lots of coaching around. Visit to Malaig.

Day6 Ben Nevis, cable car and brought a hat.

Day7 home

And onto the next Scarborough end of month.

Poppy appeal yes it all begins again with the planning. So far for this year have raised £22005.19 and still time to collect more.

Weather has been typical April warmish cold at nights. Feeling the cold these days and asthma is becoming an issue. Don't seem to be able to get rid of an ongoing virus. Another trip to doctor and on antibiotics again. Plus down for a scan to check on lungs.

Had my 6 month cancer scan and all sort of ok just some fatty lumps which may need investigating.

At Scarborough the sun is out it's warm. At the Grand which must have been something special, has a very Victorian look.

Until next month

Colin
