Hi True!
Hehe, I'm thinking of cashing in my return ticket and spending the cash on cave decos. Squatters rights and all that. I could be a professional hermit!

It wouldn't be the home comforts I'd be worried about, it would be the spiders!
I mean it's not like I couldn't have a spa bath in a cave.
Hiya Jane, I'm a bit away with the faeries too lol.

There was a pro hermit on Cumbrae many years ago!
Lived in a cave on the west of the Island, sold bunches of ferns & flowers to tourists and travellers for luck.
Was nicknamed "Fern Andy" as a result!

Gordi, your vacation area must be like heaven! Why didn't they dig that cannon out? It is a piece of history being left there and getting buried....

Hiya Night!
I'm so sorry to hear about your medical struggles. We don't know how blessed we are over here.
Maybe you could start a thread for the young boy, if his parents are OK with it. Is that allowed?
Massive hugs!
PS people hear me scream miles away when there is a spider about. What little sense I have goes straight of of the w indow!!
