Babs comes up today. She was to have been fetching a friend but the friend dropped out and so Babs has had to drive all the way up by herself. I was a bit concerned as it is a long way to drive with a bored child in the car with you but she managed it in very good time.
She had one minor problem. When she was almost at the ferry terminal in the north of Scotland, a lorry came round a corner on the wrong side of the road, smashed her wing mirror off and scratched the side of her car. I must be a bit scary being a few inches from being wiped out, especially when she had Harry with her.
All's well that ends well though and she arrived OK, if a bit shaken up.
We met Babs and Harry from the ferry in St Margarets Hope and managed to negotiate all the Orkney traffic to get back home with no further drama.
babs was still a bit shaken by the near miss with the lorry so I made her a cup of tea (My cure for everything) and we had a slump so that she could have a well earned rest. We then took Harry out into the field for a bit in an attempt to run off some of the pent up energy after being cooped up in the car all day.
Babs, being Babs, has fetched a load of her O.U. stuff here and has to get one of her course assignments done in the next few days but hopefully we can occupy Harry while she finishes it and then she can have a much needed and well deserved rest and relax. She may be 35 but she is still my little girl and she has been pushing herself a lot recently so i wanted to give her a chance to rest and recharge.
We will have to let her do her assignment though, as she has a deadline and will not relax until it is done anyway.
