Goodbye, See You In California

Leaving the Island a day early as the weather forecast is not good and the last thing I want is to be stranded and miss my flight. The Arran roads will be a bit quieter for the next couple of months, no blue jacket holding up the traffic. Thanks to all the tradesmen, bin men, NAC vans, bus drivers, County Carpets, etc for their tolerance and cheery waves. Ali and Johney,also Mark for their encouraging words and toots. At least I think that's what they were. Lindsay and Scott for the great 'soup and 2 rolls' at Sannox Golf Club, Catocal Bay Hotel, Sandwich Station and Kinloch Hotel for great food and shelter during the stormy winter. Finally, thanks to Murray, Jill, my 3 wee ones, family and friends who gave me support and space to do this trip. I'm sure, at times, I will miss them very much but the preparation is done so now onwards to enjoy the experience.
