...is this wise?
Dh suggested it today, along with the magic words, 'I'll tow the caravan, you and the kids go up by train...' (Trust me, it's better that way!)
The dc will be 10 and 7 by then and easily entertained, but not fans of long journeys. (We dragged them across the American MidWest a couple of years back, in a camper van. They still hold it against us.)
If we do go, where should we visit? I fancy Highlands, but it would take us eons to get there from Edinburgh, with a caravan, wouldn't it? Dh says we can see the Northern Lights, but since we'd be going in August, I think I'd better disabuse him of this notion. It's a very kind notion, because dd and I really want to see them, but I've just googled and theyre not really visible in the summer, on account of it not really getting all that dark.
I'd like a beach to explore, views to ooh and aahh over, birds to watch (not in a serious way - just in a, 'Ooh look - birds!' way) and space to contemplate and the dc to charge about in. I'd also like a nice tea shop. That's my holiday sorted.
Actually, I'd really like a narrowboat holiday, but I don't think we can afford that this year.
