Back to Chipping

We head to Dells home for breakfast where we also met his good friend Tony, who is, we have to say, a very very funny man (in a ha ha way, not huh? way) it was great to finally meet him after hearing so much about him, and Dell is right when he says that Tony is a great guy.

Dell very very kindly made us breakfast this morning, fueling us for the long trip ahead and it was really sad to be saying good bye to him. Dell is such a great mate, we love spending time with him and are so thankful for the tour he took us on around the Highlands, we really had a great time. We’ll miss Dell heaps, but know that it won’t be long until we see him again, and that’s very exciting!

After large warm hugs and fond farewells we hit the road, Chipping being our destination. We took a bit of a detour and took a more scenic route, which was great but perhaps put a few extra minutes on our travel time. It was nice though as this route took us to a little carpark where all around you are these amazing rolling hills, a little take away drinks/hot food caravan and a large Stone that on one side says “Scotland” and on the other “England” As much as we’ve enjoyed England we were very keen to spend as much time as possible in Scotland, so we brought a hot drink and sipped these in Scotland before bracing ourselves for the nasty weather of England and the long drive home.

It was a uneventful drive home, Chris was a real trooper, my hero, and drove with only one or two small stops, all the way back to Chipping. Luke and I were both very grateful for this. We got back to Chipping at about 8pm, which was pretty good time really. We were so tired we fell into bed after a quick meal and “hi” to Sue and Patrick, promising to fill them in on all the news tomorrow
