It is the Isle of Bute. I have to say, it is a lovely place. I don't mind one bit that we are going there again.

Zengran well at least you know you will enjoy it! Perhaps this is one of those things that was just meant to happen. Enjoy.

OH and I want a break before the winter. We usually go on a coach holiday as neither of us want to fly and it also means OH doesn't have to drive. We have found a firm we like and have used them often. We have spent a great deal of our recent holidays exploring Scotland, which we love, but this year decided we wanted a change. Having said that, we have been completely undecided about where to go! There is nowhere that makes us think "Ooh, I really want to go there!".
We decided, therefore, to bite the bullet and let the tour company decide by taking one of their "Mystery Break" holidays! Quite nerve-wracking for someone like me who does like things within my control!
They phoned us yesterday to let us know where we are going.
We are going to.................Scotland!
Made me smile grin
