The Adventures of the Sugarycake and Candy Van

We've got a new toy! Oh, the places we'll go...

Spot the campervan! We camped this weekend in the 'Three Lochs Forest Drive' - an area of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park where wild-ish camping is permitted. The forecast sun failed to materialise, and, although it was mild in temperature, we spent two days peering through this mixture of smirry mist and very low cloud. There was an almost total lack of wind (hence the low cloud....), which meant that the lochs were like flat grey mirrors. Despite the lack of sun, it's a lovely part of the world for camping. ('Smirr' - a Scots word for a very fine mist-like dampness which isn't exactly rain, and can be almost imperceptible up to the point at which you realise you're soaked through....)

Dear ipernity friends, I received a lovely message from Xata asking if Rabbit and I were ok, as we have not been on ipernity for many months. I'm sorry if anyone has missed us or been worried. In May I went off on a long long trip in my motorhome, for nearly four months. I had very limited wifi access while I was away, and decided that I couldn't keep up with ipernity. However, I'm back now, and am intending to upload pictures from the trip. It was a wonderful, potentially life changing experience. Here is a wee taster - Rabbit on the west coast of the Isle of Harris. With lots of love to all our friends on ipernity xxx
