So jealous James, will you be playing any poker while you're there ?
I went to USA for 3 weeks a few years ago (pre-kids when I had 'disposable income' LOL!), toured Canada, the east coast and the islands of Nantuket and Martha's vineyard - never made it to the west coast, but would love to go back  8)

I am a true Scot when it comes to gambling and am way too mean! We went last year and the only reason we did go and indeed why we are going back is so I can see Bette Midler in concert. Vegas is an incredible place and a must see but the gambling has no draw for me. The hotels there are just massive and have to be seen to be believed.

Doesn't look very comfortable for a long drive, Sandy!  And where would you fit Ben and Islay and the ducks and chickens * 15

Jealous, me?! Las Vegas, Morgans, tea rooms with cakes?!
Love old cars, want a Triumph myself.

Hi Unicorn, dozed off and so switched off last nite!  O/H (actually, we've been married nearly 4 years!) is a music teacher, and does his own cds, arrangements, and stuff. But he had a breakdown last year (long story) and is only just able to "hear the music" again.  He's agaorophobic still.
(tv quote - "theres only 2 types of people in this world, those who can hear the music and those who can't")

What magazines you been reading? Not many thin people in Country Smallholding, or Amateur Gardening!! Must be Hello or even The Peoples Friend?!


James, loved the stalker chicken story.  After milking we let the goat into my father in law sometimes, she creeps round the settee corner and peeps at him til he realises theres these devil eyes looking at him!

Love bargins, we say we will not spend more than 1,000 on a car, our current car cost £600 and we have had it 2 years but I want that Landrover that is on loan to me, nice guests we have, one gave me his car but I did not want it!!!!!! Our VW is still being mended, all that welding and still no MOT!!

I'm chuffed that my motorhome passed its MOT with nothing to do, but I really must sell it. It's just wasted with me - too big for one person.  I was told today by a mechanic that I'd get the same as I paid for it as the Drifters don't lose value.  If I do sell it I'll get one of these small transit type ones that I'd find easier to drive.
