Throw in my trip to Dubai and my botched attempt at the STELLER'S EIDER and it's been quite an Autumn. No wonder I'm knackered! To "grip back" YBC and HT was EXTREMELY SWEET!!! I have no regrets whatsoever regrading my trip to Orkney. I loved the challenge of my solo adventure to the Northern Isles. My strategy was sound. I just had bad luck with the weather and my limited duck ID! However, I feel the story isn't over. As you say Steve Smith..."the fat lady hasn't sung yet"?
A quick acknowledgement regarding my Wife and car (definitely in that order) lol! I know I harp on about this but Louise's tolerence is FULLY appreciated and the old V70 is an extremely comfortable...beast!
So, have a great Christmas (I do like it) and a bird-filled New Year...
