Let’s hope you don’t need a IDP by then. I’m hoping I can get back in by the time those jokers in westminster finish playing.

 :welcome2: to you, west and north coast of Scotland are stunning, east coast not so nice really.
Be sure to take a good insect repellant as the midges can be a nuisance.
Ireland is a most delightful country,and lots of character.
