You know your mind isn't really here when you find yourself staring at books in the travel section of the library. I am one of those people that doesn't take regular holidays, rather I wait, and wait, and wait, and then think "I've not really had a holiday for while have I?". With the exception of a weekend in York to see the A4 reunion for Mallard's 75th, I haven't actually had a holiday since going to the Rugby World Cup back in 2011.

So I've been finding myself in the travel section of my local library looking at books. Where to go, where to go...??

My current thoughts are a trip to Bonnie Scotland, get up there before I need to use my passport to get in!! ;)

There is also the interest in taking a trip on the Jacobite (the steam train that runs from Fort William - Mallaig), and a four and a half day archery tournament just over the sea, on Skye that is making the start of July very, very tempting.

The added advantage of doing the archery tournament is that I'll get to see a few folk that I know up there. Which I think will be quite nice as I suspect I'll not be able to talk anyone into travelling up with me. What with steam trains and archery tournaments are fairly specialist holidays!!
