In reply to Gary Francis. It's definitely not my favorite spirit, but I'll certainly try it from time to time when I see a cocktail that looks intriguing and features it, tonic water free.

Loving the feed. Very envious of you travelling so much when you are young, and wishing we’d done the same.
Funny about the gin/tonic water thing as well. I used to think gin tasted like kerosene, but there are some brilliant mixers available now and even the bride enjoys a tipple from time to time.

In reply to Marni.

I still remember the first time I had a rental car in Europe — in Malta — and I didn’t even THINK to specify I needed an automatic one. They were furious I hadn’t brought it up earlier and made a huge stink since apparently they didn’t have many. I learned my lesson after that — the rest of the world drives manual!

We actually rented a car to drive from London up to and around the North Coast 500 in Scotland. I wouldn’t have done it any other way, though I definitely agree that it could be challenging to pick up – we got it at the Gatwick airport and our plane was delayed, customs took an eon, and then we got to the pick up desk – late – only to discover they had closed this secondary desk and only had the other one, located in a further area, open. We got a good laugh out of it after we were in the car but it definitely was stressful at the time. Still happy we had it, and definitely happy we booked an automatic car and through Enterprise. Your adventures seem to be well worth it, though, and your zoom for Stonehenge is jealousy-inducing (as someone who – admittedly – happily paid the entrance fee).

I’ve rented a car in both Ireland and Scotland (automatic of course), and found it easy to drive on the opposite side of the road after a couple hours. Turning was the worst part of it, just had to concentrate. Those narrow streets are killer too; an approaching car is scary how close they pass you! I found it easier to look at the center line if there is one, or the sidewalk side instead of the approaching car; less likely to have a heart attack!
