Holiday postcard

The holiday venue this year is a huge stone castle in Scotland. Not very old but the biggest place we've stayed in. Large en-suite rooms for everyone and for the first time ever no shortage of fridge space for beer. Perhaps we're drinking less? The views are good enough for a travel magazine. Haven't seen a red squirrel yet though.

Holiday activities so far have included learning to play Texas Hold 'Em and cycling up and down hills in the direction of various beaches. There is talk of playing the famous Withnail & I drinking game and on thursday a trip up Ben Nevis. I'm not sure if i'm in shape for either of these but the latter will probably be the easier of the two. One thing that is missing is a connection to the outside world. Mobile phone signal is only reliable from the roof of the tower and i haven't been on the Internet for three whole days.
