I always wonder
no that isn't true I never wondered it in my life before. But I do now.Harun Yahya (aka Adnan Oktar) says "I always wondered why birds stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth. Then I ask myself the same thing.'
Well - ah - um -

They sound awfully like excuses to me. I'm a bit of a gypsy at heart, and right now, right this minute, I would sell up and take to the road in a comfortably-fitted-out gypsy caravan to lead the gypsy life at the drop of that hat.
Lets swap.. Please...
DEAL
Good night all Sweet Dreams
I'm flying south this weekend, but only a few hundred miles, not expecting tropical sunshine or Spanish-style fiestas. Just warmer rain, really.
Okay, a place that's hot, but not too hot. Has a week of snow a year, but otherwise is temperate and pleasant, with lots of variety and easy travel options. Where is it?
Do I complain? yup sometimes. Especially when the rain looks like it will never stop.
But I also know I live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. And going to West Cork on a sunny day in Spring or Summer makes me forget the wet days.
Also, I live 10 minutes from the airport, which can bring me to Malaga in a couple of hours, and I can lie on the beach in the heat to my heart'a content there , and forget about everything.
So it's all good really.
Yes, Scotland on a sunny day - winter OR summer - makes up for the wet ones. When I walk the dog on the foreshore, and the waves are glinting in the sun and the sky is forever, it doesn't matter whether I'm bundled up like a snowman or in summer togs, it still catches my breath after all of these years. In fact snow on the mountains opposite just improves the picture.
I probably needed to be reminded of that.
Snow as well? Wow. Thought you only got that kind of combo in NZ. Hmmmm.
However, when I go to Spain, I am lucky enough to have one of my best friends living there, 5 minutes walk from the beach, and an open invitation to go over whenever I want.
I love friends
Then friend got into such a complicated multiple love-life it stopped being an option - or maybe I just wore out my welcome?
Nah. I'm a wonderful guest.
They have just bought a holiday home up the mountains as well, so it will be a 2-resort holiday next time...ya!
I'm the opposite. I hate moving and renting and finally made up my mind after 10 years to settle down here. There are some things I'll never get used to,
Hmmmmmmmm.
You could have something here.
Z said Spain I had thought when first retired of Malta but found it so different then when on holidays and too hot for me, so I reckoned Spain in summer would be the same. So came back to North East.
I holiday in Scotland a lot as you know, the scenery is out of this world the air so fresh and clean I love it and recharge my batteries that way.
mmmmm A bird no no a butterfly for me I would come back as butterfly
I like my stuff around me. Living on the road for a while still sounds attractive, and then something a little more permanent. Like this?
the wind in your hair, the freedom of the road ... a loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou, beside me in the wilderness.Plus when the neighbours get annoying, up anchors and sail on.
That's one of my most complicated mixed metaphors yet, I think. :quiet pride:
Golly I am on a quoting ROLL
You said it to me, right?
