This is my 3rd attempt at posting a message - you will see that some things never change, Ranald. Remember how my Risks and Issues used to disappear mysteriously? I thought that was sabotage but was probably just a crap system. Anyway, I'm delighted that you seem to be having a blast - as a qualified holistic therapist, I need to know if you packed appropriate therapeutic unguents, which might be applied safely to areas of signficant tension/pain? I think we should be told. Post-NHS It'll Never Work, it sounds as though another great decision was made, just in the nick of time, too. And remember, if the going gets tough, just ask yourself: What would Leo do?
Cheers,

Three nuns in the back of an Uno? Imagine that!

Hi - sounds like you guys are having a really good trip although surprised to hear that you swapped two wheels for four......
Keep up the blog - it makes good reading.
Should be on the internet in my new flat soon so will be able to keep better track with your progress!

Hey Ranald - googl'd ya and found ya!! You must be famous. Anyway - get back here sharpish - we've got an FOI request for IT24 .... and you've b*ggered off on a cycle trip through Europe.
Hope you're both well - keep up the blogs

Hi - really impressed at how far you've got, although the car does explain some progress. Have to say I have no issues with you giving up the tent though - couldn't camp for more than 2 nights myself!!
Hope you don't mind but loads of NHS 24 people have been asking to see this site so might forward the link to a chosen few (e.g. Lisa Morrison, Louise Bennie). We're all very jealous of your freedom from the place - thankfully my Mat leave is starting at the end of November and I'm just aiming to get out with some sanity intact.

OK - we've added 4 and will put more in as soon as possible. You can look forward to Escher, more rangers and wet, wet and wet. If you're really unlucky, we'll upload some more photos.

You see, it's like a stray cat - you feed it once then it's yours for life. You must keep on feeding or it will turn on you and rip your throat out. Either that or eat your tea when your back is turned then crap behind the couch. So, more info, feed the cat.

It's raining, it's really cold and we had half our work flooded yesterday... Please cheer me up with some nice stories of goats or something... We are relying on you guys for our entertainment!

Agree with Peter - more information - take a moment from travelling in the height of luxury to explain this sudden rush through Europe - at this rate you'll be in Belgium, if it's Tuesday!
Love Dad & M-A

Poor showing on the blogging - we need more input to liven up our cold, dull work-filled lives. Also, what's all this talk of hotels? Is the tent all for show or was it ditched halfway up a hill in Spain?

Spoke to Nick and Irene last night at climbing. I hear there's some consternation concerning a handbag, a corduroy jacket and some dress boots. Ranald, you really need to start packing more efficiently!
Peter
Congratulations! An impressive milestone (kilometre - whatever!) indeed. We shall celebrate in your honour with one of those champagne bottles you left with us for safekeeping. I have also been inspired by your voyage - yesterday I moved my bike from one side of the garage to the other in order to create space for the car when it gets cold at night. So far, no calouses but then I have been applying bananas just in case.
