I am back from Bonny wee Scotland!
I had a fantastic time and I am sad to be home, I wish that I was there for a lot longer.
I had the greatest time whilst I was away and I am dying to get back there to see James. I had so much fun and Hamilton is such a big town with so much to see and do and I like it more than Blackburn as it has so much more to offer and I just love it.
there is only one problem about being up there and that is the accent. Most of the time I could understand it but at the same time there were a few times were I couldn't understand what people were saying to me. It was a good job that my friend was there with me as he acted like an interpreter a lot of the time for me. Some accents are understandable but there are some where they talk really fast in their broad Scottish accent. It was hard keeping up at times but I managed to do OK. I managed to spend all my money up there and I need to get it all back to my dad by next Friday and I am struggling a bit and I will have to try really hard to get it back to him like I promised as he needs it.
It was well worth going up there as it was so much fun and now I want to go and live up there as I loved it so much. I was saying before that I needed to get away from here and now I know where I want to go and be. The sooner the better I say and as you know anything is possible and if you want something bad you should go for it and try to get it. I want so bad to go up there and live as me and James are very close and I know he will look after me and take care of me up there.
On the first night I stayed in the Hamilton Town Hotel with was 10 seconds walk from the town centre. For a single room with shared bathroom it was £24 and with a bathroom it was £45.00. I booked a single room with a bathroom but when I got there with my friend they charged me £60 because they thought my friend was staying with me. The price included breakfast so in the end my friend decided to stay as it was a twin room with 2 beds. It was a ok room, nothing special about it at all and for £60.00 it was a bit of a rip off but I didn't complain as it was at the other side of the hotel and it was quiet so it was fine.
On the second and third night I was booked in Arron house which is a private B&B run by Mrs Bent. It is her own house and what a house that was, it was a really nice house with four rooms up stairs and her own separate rooms down stairs as well as a living room, dining room and conservatory for guests. I had my own bathroom which was on the landing next to my room. My room was a twin room again but it only cost me £30 per night and I thought that was a £30 a night well spent. It was such a nice, clean room with a fridge in the corner that was really nice and the bathroom was lovely as well. Mrs Bent was very trusting to say the least, I had my own front door key to come and go as I pleased and one day she went out in the morning and didn't return until 9am the next day. She left all the house unlocked and her part of the house unlocked and open with her tele on. I thought that she was on but I never heard her and when I heard the TV on at 3am I was a little worried. I was the only person staying in the house that weekend so she mush of trust me to go out for almost 24 hours and not even lock her room up. Her breakfasts were fantastic as well and I could never finish them and she kept bringing more and more for me to eat and I just couldn't manage it. On my last morning there she let me leave my suitcases there and take her house key with me, when I came back she wasn't in yet again and she has left me two packs of potato scenes as she knew that I loved them so much. I thought that was really nice of her and I highly recommend her b&b for a place to stay as it was lovely.
I will tell you about my trip in a while as I need to go and do a few things right now!!!!
