It was a bit tense last week, for sure. The lines at the petrol station were long as people panicked about the possibility of a strike. I had to wait in line last Friday to get fuel, it was a bit of a mess. Last Sunday one of the stations close to us had signs up stating that they were out of petrol. Sean was a bit worried because his car was so low in gasoline. Luckily, on Monday, I was able to find a station to fill up in easily.
Things then eased up at the beginning of last week as the driver agreed not to strike.
In the end, we decided not to do our planned trip to Edinburgh and York. The fuel strike was troubling, Sean has been incredibly busy at work and what finally decided it for us was when the weather turned cold and Scotland started to receive snow last week. We even have had the threat of snow as well. I am looking forward to seeing Scotland, but at this point I would prefer to see it when it is a bit warmer!
So, we are doing a bit of a stay-cation. It is not like there is not a ton of things for us to see and do in the surrounding area!
