We hadn’t been here for a while (6 years!) as the site had been closed and reopened only to caravans. Great to see it open to tents too now and so we took the opportunity to go camping along with the Walkers. Lovely to chat … Continue readingCae Du – The Return
A catch up with the Walkers is always top fun and this time we started off in Ye hole in the wall.. A brown bitter for me, a stable of my drinking menu in the 80s. As the sun was out we ended up at … Continue readingSummer Shenanigans
