ROSEY AND SARA
SARA: DH does not feel the cold, but Scotland beat him LOL It was just so MISERABLE there for a couple of days. Our Scots friend was actually happy with the weather because he thought it was exactly the right atmosphere for him to explain what it was like 300 odd years ago for the poor Scottish highlander. The wettest days of our trip turned out to be on both walks - on Hadrian's Wall and in the Alps. Luckily we'd gone shopping in Inverness and had thick rainproof jackets and rainproof pants to pop on.
(L. DH at Burntisland, a village across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh.
R. Our first day of walking in the Alps. Luckily the worst of it.)
By the time we got down to Land's End and St Ives in Cornwall the sun was shining but I'm the opposite to DH and don't feel warm until the weather's in the 30s C (80s?).
I love this photo of me in my jacket and scarf amongst the hardy English sunbathers LOL
ROSEY: By the end of the trip we were exhausted, and that was when we were doing the Nordic Walking! HAVING to get up every morning for breakfast at a certain time became quite draining. Then we had around 36 hours either on planes or waiting at airports so only catnaps from Saturday until Monday. We were happy to be back in our own bed but also to sleep in when we wanted. Having said that, it took DH nearly 3 weeks to get over the jet lag and be able to sleep properly through the night. I don't think we'll ever do that long a trip again.
