couldn't afford to move where we were (Cotswolds)

A very sad and unfortunate state of affairs and this happens everywhere across the UK. Gets me quite mad thinking about it actually...
 
I think we stayed pretty much on the main roads and it wasn't until we got past Fort William that roads started to feel like the country lanes of Wales, for instance (another lovely country). Then again, we spent the first night up at Loch Trool, which was nice, so, yeah, those roads, away from the main A75 were a bit "rough" in places.
 
And the midges were a nightmare that first night! We had no idea! Woke up covered in little red blotches and the camper was filled with the midges. It was Sunday morning and I remember thinking, " everywhere is going to be close." But, fortunately, there was a hardware shop open in a little place called Newton Stewart so we called in and got some fly spray and a pack of those sticky things.
 
We made our way back to the A75, pulled over in a layby, emptied out anything that wasn't fixed and nuked the little feckers!

Good morning lads.
The snow that was here yesterday has rained away, and it's windy but sunny outside now.
 

Hiya Ken
 
Sunny but cold here at the moment.
 
 

and I'm now up to -26dBFS FFS!
 
not that it matters, of course...

Ha, I live 2 miles from Newton Stewart! That would have been Home Hardware in Victoria Street I have several customers in Glentrool, and yes, the midges are horrendous in the summer, especially early morning on a damp day.
 
They don't bite me but they get in my ears, up my nose...AAARRGGHHH!

Aye! I think it was Home Hardware... Just had a look on google maps
 
Do you use that Avon Skin So Soft haha!
 
Just found this image:-
 

I have to admit that I have wasted an enormous amount of time on the interwebs since the devastating news about Cakewalk.
 
Sure ain't gonna put food on the table...
 
Or make music ambient stuff

I have been known to wear one of those! That Skin-So-Soft is useless, all that happens is the midgies stick to your face. If it gets unbearable I spray my hat with Raid, the smell keeps 'em off for a couple of hours. Luckily I don't smoke...
