They say it’s all about whom you know. We’d humbly like to disagree. We recently spent a brief holiday, er, vacation, on the shores of Loch Fyne thanks (in part) to people we’ve never met. To prove the truism, though, if it weren’t for people we know who know people that we don’t, we never would have made it. As it is, after three hours on the road, including a good twenty minutes on a single-track road with the occasional pull-out, we arrived at a whitewashed cottage with an unobstructed view of calm water and relished two days of no email, no buses, no diesel fumes, fragrant roses, time to read, friends, savory food, and so on.

Glad to see you are no longer stranded in Wales :o)
Looks like you had a great time! Good for you – Julian is so big. Hope you were able to get all the relaxation to leave you refreshed to get back to work.
