When do B&B owners go on holiday? We went mid October. It’s an unusual occurrence to be away for my birthday. With Fay previously being a teacher in England, my birthday, on the 12th of October was never coincidental with school holidays. Fay’s birthday in August, however, we were always away.

This year we took the opportunity go go away for my birthday. So, we decided to go over the sea to Arran. But, we decided to just take the bikes, so we parked at the ferry terminal and went across with bikes and ruck sacs.

We were very fortunate with the weather, and completed a few walks, including up Goat Fell, and a few cycle rides including a ride all round the island .

I could post all sorts of pictures of our holiday, but a particularly special evening was spent badger watching, so here is a picture of our successful evening.
