Decided that it was great time to drive into the Scottish lowlands. The white hills and mountains were stunning, as were the snow-topped evergreen forests and fields. Hardly any cars on the roads - bliss.

Called off at a Scottish Co-op to top-up our post-Brexit victual bunker.


Co-op?.... and Scottish? :thud:

Huh - they do have Co-ops in Scotland. :scratch:


Yeah, but both?.... Morrison’s in England anyday!

No, they're really good - they stock different (and better) stuff than English Co-ops, food you cant get south of the border. Besides in the wilder parts (where we were) they don't have any other supermarkets.

Looks quite heavy down his way.


'Deed ah did.

Scraped three inches of snow off of the car and got in early because no-one else was stupid enough to go to work. Loaded up an easy day and shot off to TA6. BW was well gritted and the roads were dead, finished early to greet a table full of doughnuts and cakes that management had put out to thank us for the effort.

Back in BW Letters had been sent home and DPD closed their local depot, snowflakes :gigglesnshit:

And yes, my leg flesh was on display!
