But he's Scottish and, therefore, enjoys change.

But maybe you'd prefer to have a huge oil refinery on your door step. I do where I live. Funny thing is people who see it get in a panic about it too as they drive past it.... Thankfully in Scotland we're not averse to change in the way that seems to be so common in England where everyone is required to engage in the pretence that it's 1885.

I don't find breaking ground too arduous although distances seem to take their toll more.<br />I certainly wouldn't like to do that route in one day. It could be done on 2 if you really wanted to.<br />I wouldn't mind doing route A at some point in the future.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.com
