want one



Hi . Hope you are all well . Well this is me,and no this is not mine. I have drooled over Lambo's since i was a child.This is the very first one i have seen in the flesh.They are rather sparse in Stranraer.
I have a list of cars i want to own in my lifetime;
   Lambo
   Subaru impreza[ have one and oh it's wonderful]
   Toyoto celica GT4 [ the old one with the pop up lights ]
   Landrover Bowler [60 miles an hour cross country is very appealing ]
   Mustang
   Dodge charger
   Range rover [1970's one ]
   Clio 2 litre cup [ just for a run a round ]
There is many more and i could list them but it would go on forever.
I am actually , though you won't believe it as enviromentally friendly as i can be . But there is just something about cars i love. i do plan to plant many many trees  if ever i get them . If i win the lottery i would probably have a car for every day of the month. This sounds planet bad but i can only drive one at a time so it would be friendly in a way as if 30 people owned 30 cars then they  would be run every day but i would only have one out at a time . I know i am stretching it abit. But i dont think i will ever have that many cars so the point is mute.
And anyway i wont be driving for some time as we will be boating through France for how long, we dont know. No timetable.
Getting close too. Mark has to sit his Vhf radio certificate to enter French waters and the only date he could get for that was the end of july.. Apparently most courses are in the winter.. It is a day course but he has do do some homework before he goes as he has been sent a book.
So if you are thinking of using your own boat to go to and through France you will need your Day Skipper [ Normally 6 day course ] CEVNI Inland waterways regulations certificate which is done online and VHF radio certificate. Your boat must be sound.
So think ahead at least 6 months and if you charter a boat you require these as well.
Mark and i had this vision of just buggering off. Ha. Everybody [ government based power companies telecommunications etc.] wants to know when you are leaving , where you are going, and how long you will be away.And for gods sake don't say Don't know, because they don't have a box for that ..
LAL is coming on well and looking good, we are sort of getting used to living aboard. She has plenty of storage which is great but trying to remember where everything is without dismantling the whole boat is a nightmare..
Hope some of that information was useful to you.

   I SAW MY FIRST LAMBO YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Like the Lambo, suits you, wouldn't get to New Luce any quicker than your Subaru though, but I would come for the run while you tried.

    It's great that you finally saw one, I still remember when you visited us in Glasgow and just after you left to catch the train a lambo drove right past me and Tristan!
    Don't drool on it too much, the owner might be upset :)

#seasthefuture Scotlands International Marine conference

Hi folks I feel honoured to have attended Scotlands very first marine international conference. Since my little adventure , i have gained much more confidence . But still, attending a conference full of passionate dedicated highly qualified scientists , terrified me. As the event progressed , i realy appreciated having my wonderful daughter to lead me by the hand , help me formulate my questions and with some people , stop me losing my temper. Bethany is doing a phd in evolution involving genes . There is much more involved but climate change was relevant for her so she attended too Our fantastic host for this event was Collin Moffat, Scottish government minister for marine. #seasthefuture . He was very amusing and kept our attention with wit and treating us like a group of friends. People from all over the world were in attendence . Organisations from all aspects of marine study were available to answer questions . PhD students presented information on their studies , which w

 Some old photos, we don't get snow in the South Rhinns very often , but when we do its a show stopper  This is a few years ago . Cows had to be fed and checked even though it took Mark 3 days sitting in the landy to get through finally. Power was off across the whole area and the snow was sticky and shut all the mobile antennas down. Landlines to were down. Some villages were shut off for at least 5 days and the RNLI had to rescue people from outlying bays and get them to Portpatrick. We were lucky. We had a rayburn and plenty of wood. My parents rayburn got blocked with snow and the fire decided to visit the kitchen. They did get it out with help from there friend John their neighbour. i thought they would be ok and hadnt got to them for a couple of days. What a sight they were all covered in soot, hair standing on end. A massive hunt went on for sheep trapped in snowbanks and most were found alive and had lambed .It being the end of march when we got all this. H

wow what a day all excitement and rain and people about. LAL is not in yet but they were moving another boat into the water and thought while the crane was going they would get us ready. We didn,t get much warning.Spent the morning getting all the stuff that could fly down on the floor. We were then told  at about midday it would be another boat shifted and then us. so we put the kettle on and settled down to lunch. Mark went to do something i was sitting going through facebook. Then a strap appears at the window and a set of lower legs i didn't recognise.I heard Mark saying can i get the cats out first. That was it out the hatch i went , yip we were going to be on the move quicker than we thought. . Tom and Patch had been worked up all morning and were not happy about leaving the boat. There had been a lot of clanging and banging when they moved Constance earlier so they were worried.. Patch the little one all sweet and lovely turned in to a leaping somersaulti
