Our trip to the Isle of Gigha Gigha is three miles west of the Kintyre peninsula, less than a three-hour drive from Glasgow and only a 20-minute ferry from the mainland.

Getting married in Scotland In our back garden Let’s get married! Other important matters Organising Our wedding Let’s get married! Aileen and I met in 2001. We were both 36 and had 3 children between us from previous relationships.

A phase that enabled us to think about ourselves and not the weekend athletics meeting, orchestra practice or the next school crisis. We had always wanted to climb Ben Lo ..read more

Staying overnight at Loch Etive Aileen had always wanted to stay overnight at Loch Etive and now that we had our Autosleeper Duetto, Dora, she could!

Described as one of Scotland’s most beautiful drives and 12 miles of mostly single-track road and it comes to an end at Loch Etive. The only way out is the same road back. Glen Etive is about 83 miles from our home but as luck would have it, we weren’t home. We had just ..read more

This is a story about our Airbnb, which is currently unable to take any bookings, at the time of writing, due to COVID 19. This unfortunate break has given us time to gain some personal insight into why we started our Airbnb, what has been the positives & negatives, what have we learned about ourselves and will we want to take future bookings. Why did we start an Airbnb? The answer to this is a combination of different circumstances and our personalities. We have always been willing to take a chance on something. Not because we’re reckless gamblers but because we are the exact opp ..read more

Our first trip in Dora
On the Way

Our first trip in Dora Aileen and I are so fortunate to live in Scotland. There are lots of good reasons to stay in Scotland but when we became the proud owners of Dora, our Autosleeper Duetto, we really appreciated staying in Scotland and couldn’t wait to go exploring. Dora is a 2007 Duetto. A Duetto was the creation of a company called Autosleeper, who take a van as it’s starting point and convert it into a Campervan. The van used to create a Duetto is a Ford Transit. Over the years, as new Transit models were produced, the external look and colour would change. Our Duetto is blue! The F ..read more
