Arran, Summer 2015

Got this email from Mum this morning.
It's all booked, I'm going to Arran for my birthday to spend some time with Mr & Mrs Limey. A wonderful mini-holiday for me.

Thanks to all three - Mum for fares [thanked IRL] and the Limes for hospitality.
Please send all cards/ money/ birthday gifts there! Also care hampers if you want us to have an American Feast in your honour

I do hope to be able to cook some light nutirtious meals. Marinated chicken, salads, pulses and grains.
And (only assuming Limey is free) get to Machrie Moor to revisit Brianna's memory.

I have already promised Carruthers I will not take any heels. wedges or platforms with me. I might have lied. Depends if the Limeys say that want to take me out. I don't expect it of course. What I want is company, companionship and cats. And I always get those chez Limey.

There were many times I didn't think I'd see this birthday. Or rather that I did nnot want to. So although it's not technically a "special" one - ie it doesn't end in a 5 or a 0 - it will be special to me.

All booked. Tickets will come to my address and I will post them on to Cherry.

Arrive Carlisle 14.46.
Change to Leeds train, leaving Carlisle at 15.06. You have to find your own seat again. No bookings.
Arrive Leeds at 17.40.

I will check everything again once the tickets arrive and let [Limey] know of any changes. Hope the above is okay.
You will not have to leave too early from Otley Cheryl. Give you time to settle.
Love Mum/Sheila xxxx
I didn't actually expect her to fund the whole journey. So I am immensely flattered that she thinks I'm worth it. She's told me she's spending my funeral money so I have to stay alive

No pics in this thread as yet obviously. But there will be.

Quoted one more time because it's worth it (just as you are.) Tell your mom this line is funny as shit. Sounds like it will be a very nice trip!

Just received from Sundae and posted on her behalf.
She's speeding North on the second leg of her journey as I type.

Another couple of photos from Sundae in the last few minutes.

The view of the Ribblehead Viaduct would appear to be more impressive than that from it.

From (just entering):



Of (Google Street View):







Carlisle Station. Victorian architecture and construction and still going strong.

The ferry strike is over as Limey said it would be, she must have spoken to M.

Carruthers, you missed your calling as the perfect gentleman's gentleman. Thank you, Sir.
