Finally, the lies can stop!
This was a very early start! Mark and I were up around 0600 to finish packing, have breakfast and take the kitties to the cattery for their holidays before we headed to Loch Lomond to meet Mum and Dad and apparently surprise Dad...as far as he was aware, we were going on holiday today to Thailand - in fact we'd moved our holiday on 2 days from the original departure date of the 3rd July (which is my Dad's 60th Birthday) so we could be with him on his birthday - my Mum's idea, not Dad's!
So it was up at the crack of dawn to finish packing, because we were still doing laundry the night before so the radiators in the house were on full blast to dry stuff, both for Inverlochy and Thailand! Once we'd squeezed our bag into Mark's boot - we'd managed just to take one big duffel bag between us - we wrangled a very vocally unhappy Sam and a squirming Ziggy into the cat boxes - two grouchy cats!
And finally, we were on the road for what was going to be a long day of driving!
