Holidays and happy days...

Hi Guys, we've been away for a few days in the sun so it's been holidays and happy days too - woo hoo!

We went down to the borders at Dumfries and Galloway and spend a restful week lazing in the sun and just generally living life at a slower pace, it's been good for us and also fun!

Coo and I needed a wee break from all the stress that's been happening setting up the new SDS (self directed support), care system.  We've both struggled with this and now it's all agreed and things are in motion, it was time for a wee change of scene...
We stayed at Wigbay just around the bay from Stranraer and had fun exploring from Portpatrick - where we enjoyed a bonfire and firework display, through to Drummore and right down to Scotlands most southerly tip at the lighthouse on the Mull of Galloway!

Guess what?
They have a tea shop at what seems to be the top of the world!
It's perched right up high on the cliffs and has fabulous views and food!
What do you think?
Lashings of sticky toffee pudding and a wee cuppa right up on the clifftops?
 - I call that a Result! lol

While we were away, Coo kept relatively well, (well, no worse than usual!)  and Looby, Steven and baby Jessica came to stay for a few days too so it was kinda like a home from home too.
Best of all, as Looby was there, I managed to get a wee hand and some sleep when Coo was poorly.

I'm glad we had the opportunity to get away for a wee break, especially to such a lovely, tranquil place and I think it's done us both the world of good.
We both had a really restful and enjoyable time!

I hope you're enjoying some peaceful times where you are too!
(((hugs)))
