Holiday trip aborted (Sigh!) ...

Right, my little trip to Oban described below had to be aborted. On Saturday I spent about 4 1/2 hours driving there (great trip, wonderful weather, some lovely photographs on the way), only to find what I'd booked had been changed for something completely different, and less good, than what I'd booked and paid for. So I turned around and came home - another 4 1/2 hours driving, so I was pretty exhausted by the time I got to bed that night; only minor compensation was that I got some lovely sunset shots on the way back. Normally I'd have stayed a night in an hotel someplace, to break the journey, but it's not easy to find places that accept pets at short notice so that was not really an option.

Now I'll get to see, in the next week or so, how the Small Claims Court functions - Trading Standards say I've got a pretty cast-iron case, but we'll see how it goes...
