We Gaily Gad About

29/01/2025

We're wandering around Glasgow today doing the tour. Come up against a few "no dogs allowed" moments but other than that we're having a great time learning a bit about the city and having a lovely walk.

Pit Stop Photo Moment as requested in the guide. Next clue is actually on the street we're staying on so we're going to do a cheeky stop at the Brewdog on the corner.

I'm heading off to Glasgow tomorrow for a 4-day trip to explore the city with the pups.

Picked up a to do one of the days which I think will be a fun way to easily explore and see some sights.

Trains at 530am though... Ooof

Off to Glasgow Monday morning for a 4 day getaway. Looking forward to being back in Scotland, and this time I'm ready for the rain 🤣

A few more from our walk. It was cold, crispy, and very much needed.

I'm stuck inside a lot at the moment. I need to sell Jezebel so I can drive safely with the dogs in a bigger van. But it's just not happening.

Until then I have to wait until I can go with someone with a cat with enough space and seatbelt areas for them all, so adventures are few and far between...

Newstead Abbey on a foggy day. Lovely walk with the girls, but can it be Spring already!?

Jezebel is up for sale! £9k with 61K on the clock (she’s still got about 300K left in her). Check out her ad for more info on Quirky Campers (she even got their special “Quirky Loves This” seal of approval!)

Jez is an incredibly well-maintained 33-year-old Ford Frisky autosleeper (Transit SWB). She is a rare find with only 250 made in the early 90s. She spent most of her life taking families on summer holidays and not much else before I got her. Don’t let her age put you off, she’s still got a lot o...

In this week's episode we leave the beach after Storm Lillian and head off to Stirling and the Wallace Monument.

Ep.15 Our solo travel around Scotland has us waiting out Storm Lillian, will we see the morning!? Spoiler Alert! We did, and as the day wore on the sun came ...

Puppies trying to make Sadie feel better during the fireworks.

They've been going off at 6pm every night since Oct 25th. She's absolutely terrified of them, won't eat, won't go out to p*e, nothing helps.

I hate fireworks night!

I end up on the east coast of Scotland just as Storm Lillian hits. We're in for a shaky night at the beach!

New Episode now live on YouTube!

Ep.14 Our solo travel around Scotland has us waiting out Storm Lillian on Montrose Beach as a warning alert scares me! Before this though, we visit the Muir ...

Out in the van this weekend with the pups. We're hanging out in Walesby Forest for a few days. Might do an activity or two tomorrow, might not, see how I feel, honestly it's just nice to be out of the house and in nature again.

Yes Jez is still up for sale, but until her new adventure buddy is found I'll be continuing to use her.

Link in bio to the advert if you're interested...

Took advantage of the sunny weather in between days of rain to visit the Attenborough Nature Reserve in Long Eaton.

Lovely 6 mile circular walk, all pathed so accessible for most, and a very tasty raspberry choc brownie at the end.

Glorious views on the river Spey 🥰

Oh I do wish I was back in bonny Scotland...

Here I am at the Devil's Beeftub, gorgeous views even in the rain.

Here's hoping I can get a bigger van soon and get my butt and the doggos back on the road and up to the Highlands again.

Finally got myself a dryrobe. I've been wanting the Bitcrush Turquoise for about a year now and it's always out of stock in my size. But not this time!

Now my jacket matches my van (she's still up for sale, check my bio for link) and it'll match my next one too!

I got a size small (I wear a uk16 normally) and it fits exactly as I wanted it to. This will be for dog walking whereas my other plain old one is for wild swimming as it's much much bigger.

Jez is up for sale!

Jez is a 32-year-old Ford Frisky auto sleeper (Transit base), and with only 250 of them made in the early 90s, she is a rare find. She spent the majority of her life taking families on summer holidays and not much else. When I got her, she was called Bessie and very, very beige… Upon purchasing .....
