1. She'd never seen sheep roaming in fields before. I explained the concept of a Welsh Bordello and she's cool with it now.
2. She now loves Irish Stew, Christmas Pudding and Cadbury's Mint Aero
3. She now knows to squint when there's a Force 9 whipping the sand from the seashore.
4. She thinks it's funny to visit a 6,000 year old Stone Circle/Burial Tomb, and then photograph an Englishman having an emergency slash against the stonework. (No standards, you Ame'cuhns)
5. She likes Lighthouses, Wind-powered Energy Farms and Belted Galloway cattle (they are adorable)
6. She knows her way around a 5 speed manual gearbox. (An Gurl! And a Yanqui at that!)
Our trip was a tad compromised by a flat tyre which resulted in Nobby replacing it with the spare that resembled a doughnut and handled like a Walmart trolley. As all the Tyre Garages were closed for the holidays, we had to do 650 miles at 50mph
It didn't help seeing the jpgs of my brother's new Ferrari convertible. Flash Bastage
Still, she survived my prehistoric parents (and vice versa) and saw in 2007 with a large glass of Bailey's and a Bacon Butty.
All good.
Happy New Year
PS - Happy New servers? WTF?
