Holidays !!

[gaza the instructor]

Where are you going ?
What is it like?
Are you camping or in a hotel?

[gaza the instructor]

If the weather stays fair I will not be straying far. I during the winter had a nice large
Indian Sandstone patio built, and now I want to test drive it.
Other than that late Summer I will drive down to North Devon, visit Family and visit
some old favourites like the pasty shop in Bude, and the one in Ilfracombe.

I will shortly be soaking up the ambiance and culture of the Spanish white coast.
Not been anywhere since before COVID, so we’ll due a break.

[gaza the instructor]

Hi Moss, I think the rest of them have already gone, but don't worry
I will keep the home fire burning!!

[Icefever]

We have nothing planned so far as we are moving in a couple of weeks...so it will be settling into a new home. I'm looking to set up all my brewing kit in the shed that already has leccie fitted.

ps...enjoy your holls, everyone.

We are fans of the Cornish coast. We avoided it during covid, but will be going back this year.

See you there Gazza. We normally migrate late summer, after the red wine is made.

[gaza the instructor]

Me too Mash. North Devon and Cornwall without kids. Heaven.

[Mash]

How do you clear North Devon and Cornwall of kids?

[gaza the instructor]

Go when the little critters are back in class , so September.

[Mash]

Blimey for a moment there I thought you were suggesting the Cornish piped piper

[gaza the instructor]

No but a flamethrower would be another option Mash.

[gaza the instructor]

Where is everybody ? Are they all on holiday?

[Mash]

Perhaps we should wrestle in the corner and see if it draws a crowd.

[Jennysgin]

Maybe everyone is just out enjoying the sunshine

We are finally taking the kids to Disney this year after it was cancelled in 2020. Only 6 years in the planning!

[gaza the instructor]

I might not go to Chessington World of Adventures as I have free tickets.
Get 'em every year and pass them to kids who will use them. Nearest I
get to going is sitting in the traffic outside on the Leatherhead road.

[gaza the instructor]

They done it again. All gone to Spain.
Will the last one to leave please turn the lights out.
This means I can have my Summer snooze in peace.

[Mash]

People going on holiday. Whatever next.... Time off at Christmas!

Well I'm off ATM, but given we have 5 cats (4 regular and a new one that she "inherited" when she gave up her long term work).

The cattery cost would likely be more than a cheap foreign holiday.

So happy to veg and drink

Oh, and here's a pic of the latest addition to the furry tribe

That's Reggie, a pedigree Bengal, who was free to a good home, but a bit of research suggests he would have been, between £800-£1500 as a kitty.

We just have to teach him how to live with the other 4 (treated like royalty by previous owners)..........

[Mash]

What an amazing chap.

Are they known to be a little antisocial?

Intelligent and very busy. The only reason it's taking time to integrate him with the others, is that he lived as the only pet and was spoiled rotten by them, so we know it's gonna take time.

Cats can and will get on with other cats, if they're socialised with them and young mogs.
