Me too. I once bought a winter coat in a department store in Leipzig via a series of comic, elaborate charades - the retailer had less English than I had German, and neither of us had a shred of dignity left by the end of it. A fond memory!

The wonderful Rhineland series makes me want to get on a train around Europe!

And you’d be nearer to ‘the mother’, as we say here, in Argyle and Bute …

That’s most of us, I believe!

Caption competition!

Wishing you well whichever plan is best -

I love that second house, and so reasonably priced compared to Dublin!
I hope your house is suitably toasty given the arctic temperatures? Cannot imagine winters there.

Looks up Inveraray on the map!

Thoughts and prayers!

Amanda Root and Ciarán Hinds, if memory serves- wonderful stuff!

Brava!
