Well then,
recollections may vary. People change!! Iāll rescind my peripatetic rant at Jack about PDA, letās just re-label it as an instruction for her not to start spouting about it. Warned.

"Inexpensive but lovely places to stay, that are accessible by public transport and amenable to large bouncy dogs..."
Wasn't she asking for this back in the summer? And then proceeded to do the square root of sod all with her poor boy. She's had his entire childhood to share experiences with him but instead chose to duck off with her endless parade of short-term partners to America, Cyprus, Venice, Spain, and duck-knows-where else, now he's almost a teenager and won't want to do as much with his mum, she wants to make up for lost time?
"Budget tight" after the "I spunked tens of thousands on sideboards" revelations...really!?
And sure, it's the people calling her to account for her decade-long campaign of lies and grifting affecting him now, not mamapapa's array of addictions, exposure to her monthly mental health crises and suicide attempts, a revolving door of parent figures, bullying/ostracisation at school due to the completely inappropriate stuff she shares online, et bleeping cetera.
Why is she such a massive bleep

Why is she such a massive bleep
After being cooped up (because heckin big downsize) in a one bedroom flat with his mother, the almost teen boy is being taken for a blissful and much needed escape. To a tent. With his mother.
The dog is huge. She isnāt a pocket rocket. Neither is she tbh. Sheās a limp biscuit.
Didnāt even think of that, makes sense with the whole going to Pontins with the ex and children.
Iāve looked, 9+ hours, seems ideal for an imaginary weekend away
Don't rescind it! I thought that even by liking it, it's clear she's going to keep it in her back pocket as some sort of excuse.Well then,
Not sure how, dear heart, but you forgot Dordrecht
Not allowed out of the country with her, is he?I have mentioned this on another thread recently but I have to say (and this is very much rhetoric because we all know why) WHY does she not get a cheap pair of flights to somewhere like Denmark or any Scandi country (Denmark has cheap flights to Legoland and there is oodles of opportunity to do other things there too). It would be vastly cheaper than training up to northern Scotland and itās so very quick too.
Utterly baffling. (And yes, I know itās all about Twitter deflection and engagement figures and itās not going to happen either way).
Wild camping in winter? In Scotland? With arthritis? With a massive dog? With a 12 year old?
Without a car?
Tool.

Riiiiight Jack and Content will be grand on a 8 hour journey incl at least 3/4 changes. Dumbass

Nailed it!!
Itās also a recipe for disaster verging on cruelty for even an old boy, never mind a young bouncy puppy. My10 year old fluffy friend is a really good traveller - loves looking out of the window, but he needs a break after 1 hour max and we havenāt taken him over to Europe because of that reason.
Especially not if you need to walk a huge bouncy dog for a couple of hours each day. How will that even work?
Friday: up at 6am, walk dog for an hour or so, get to station and onto train by 8.30am maybe?
Get west coast mainline from London and maybe if it all goes smoothly be in Edinburgh by lunchtime. Walk dog round Edinburgh and maybe get another couple of hours of train in before stopping for evening long dog walk and bnb overnight.
Saturday: travel up to ānorth Scotlandā if train connections and bouncy dog walks allow.
Sunday: do Saturdayās trip in reverse.
Monday: do Friday in reverse.
Except it would have to be a 3-day weekend or SB will be off school. Half term in Feb is usually only a week.
You can go all the way to Thurso on the train - 13h56min from Southend, with 5 changes. Ā£558.30 for 1 adult + 1 child booked a couple of months in advance. Enjoy, Jack!
Why dog sour?
No pee for 8 hour.
