Today I have another new toy, another turntable...

This time this one is the Teac TN-400 direct drive turntable, should be made in the 70s, so get the old plinth out which is hidden for a long time(10 years +!!!) . So there will be crazy DIY things to play!!!!!

LOL!!

Continuing with more Christmas songs.

Some may not have direct reference with the festive reason but they just happen to relate with the theme.

Here comes Sissel, one of my wife's regular many years ago....

Fotheringay 兄，

何止 never mind, 呢個時節直頭要盡情 share, 普天同興!! =D

Joy to the world!

I did Christmas songs every year here but perhaps my chosen titles were not familiar with most here so it was always just me posting them.

So if you don't mind I would post some more old and maybe some new ones later approaching Christmas.

Let's start with the wintry mood with snow. It always lifts the Christmas spirit with a little bit of snow and some Cambridge Choir.

When we were in Scotland we experienced sunny days, rainy days, stormy weather, cold and dry.....but we love it!!!

You may wonder and think "Are you mad? how can you enjoy holiday in such conditions!!!"

Well, if you like staycation and live in the UK for a while you will find or adopt to the conditions sooner or later.

I may sound ridiculous to people from Down Under or California as they have the luxury of fine climate.

The weather will polish one's character or destroy it to the extreme.

Springroll,

I imagine that you live close to Manchester so you do have the advantage to go north.

I think taking M6 to Glasgow would need around 4 hours of driving and I think this is doable even with one driver.

Obviously if you go further north to Inverness, or to Orkney Island or Shetland Island you will have to stop for the night somewhere.

That's the reason why we didn't go to Scotland when our son was young. Adults could survive the long journey, but not with children unless they have been trained.

Why not holding a family discussion to test the water. I hope my videos will give you some reference.

We chose not to go to Scotland in the Summer for a few reasons.

It was just us so no need to struggle with the sea of visitors during the summer holiday peak.

Moreover, the the midges issues from late April to September are quite talked about. While some say never mind them it is gorgeous in the Summer to visit Scotland. Then you have some found the midges quite annoying especially if you are sensitive to insects and panic about them.

For family holiday, you can't beat the good weather and long day light so obviously it will be nice to go.

Having said, everything will be expensive, hard to book beautiful spots and long driving journey if you are the sole driver.

And one crucial element, the British weather though it applies to holidaying in the UK in general.

To me I prefer early October as you can see and feel the deep Autumn in the Northern Scotland but mild weather of late Summer in the south.

It's cold and wet....nonetheless beauty as it is defined to a different perspective.
