I think I've covered now, providing my usual goat sitters are available. They will be in night and morning for feeding and milking, another friend (former goat keeper) will pop in during the day, Sbom has given me her phone number and will be able to dash here if needed and we have a very good vet who is experienced with goats.Oh and my neighbour who will watch from her window. Phew! I can tell my mum that we can go and thereby avoid World War III.
The worst of it is that we don't like the sort of holiday she is booking, but she is paying so it is her choice - post hotel, part board with evening entertainment. Personally, I'd rather be self catering so I can eat when and what I choose and spend the evening with a good book or catching up with TAS. Still it will be good to spend a bit of time with my brothers and their wives. I'll still worry about Caldi but not so much. And it's only four days. We can cope with that.
