You never have to apologize for not bringing Indie with you. We all love seeing her but your videos are extremely enjoyable whether Indie can join with you or not. Your video content and amazing personality is what makes this channel stand out. Just please keep doing what you are doing and everything will be absolutely awesome. I hope that you and your family will enjoy your adventures in the new part of your country that you are planning to visit for awhile. Enjoy the outdoors and stay safe out there (and don't forget to bring the tent pegs LOL.) See you on the next one Cathy.

That is a really peeve of mine grrrr.

👍👍👍 .. nice 😊. Rain (and Wind 😖) appear to follow you on your outings 😏. Perhaps, for a fee, you should consider visiting Drought-Stricken Areas in other parts of the Globe .. could be quite lucrative 😁. Super spot .. it reminds me so much of my home town Kleinmond, Western Cape, South Africa .. the rain (and wind 😫) and 'Fynbos' vegetation during the July Winter Rainfall Season. As a 'Southerner' by birth, I can identify with Summer Christmases .. Braais (Barbecues) and Christmas Feasts in the Braai Room and adjoining Veranda surrounded by Winter-themed Christmas Trees, Decorations, Cards, etc, etc 😊. Bare feet in the rain .. I've lived in Switzerland the past ten years and still go barefoot whenever. Old Years evening, I sat on the 3rd floor flat balcony, barefoot, toasting marshmallows over charcoal in a hobo stove, drinking Glühwein (with the little Malti-Poo dozing next to me under the blanket .. fireworks and the accompanying 'bangs' don't fuss her one bit .. never has) while watching the Firework Displays across the Rhine in Germany herald in 2024. Yes, the temp was in the low (°C) single digits and with a tile floor, cold under (bare) foot. Good 'cold weather conditioning' .. improves the circulation I believe. I very seldom suffer from cold feet when outside as, I believe, a result thereof. There .. 'useless information' done! 👏😁. When it's raining cats and dogs, sometimes the pooch appreciates being left behind .. mine hates rain! There is always the next time. Always a pleasure watching your posts. You pulled through admirably despite the weather and equipment shortage. Something to be said for a tent that can be deployed with rain fly at the ready. Thanks for sharing .. and all good and more in 2024 for yourself and Loved Ones. Enjoy the relocation and am looking forward to your next post (with or sans rain 😊). Take care ..
