As lockdown continues for us in Scotland, we're continuing to relive our trip to Amsterdam in February 2019. Opposite our lovely hotel there was a great cafe called Bagels and Beans, and they are dotted all over Amsterdam. It was perfect for breakfast each day as it overlooked the harbour and had a great atmosphere. … Continue reading Cats in a Museum
Banksy in Amsterdam
As we're still in lockdown and I will be until at least the end of July, I thought it would be good to reminisce about holidays past, and for the first one we're off to Amsterdam in February 2019. It was our second visit to this fun city and as you can see, the brats … Continue reading Banksy in Amsterdam
Home Sweet Home
I'm still here, at home, hopefully staying safe. How are you? Going stir crazy, or are you getting back to the new version of normality. My constant companions through lockdown are the two brats, who sit on chairs next to me whilst I'm working, follow me around the house when I do things, and Lord … Continue reading Home Sweet Home
A Pause in Nature
How are you? The world is slowly getting back to normal so please stay safe for yourself and for everyone else. We love watching natures creatures enjoy the garden, so Ken has created a hedgehog hotel and I've made a sign for it so they can spot it easily. This is the view of the … Continue reading A Pause in Nature
Isolation Continues
How are you? Surviving in whatever stage of lockdown you're currently at? We're doing okay but it feels really strange not going anywhere and knowing I won't be able to until at least mid July. There are really silly little things that I'm missing, and one of those was Vegemite, my taste of home, as … Continue reading Isolation Continues
Remember Travel?
Who has itchy feet at the moment? No, I don't mean that you have some weird foot related rash, rather that you want to travel somewhere, even if it's just within driving distance. One of the things I've found myself doing is lots of reminiscing about places we've travelled to and remembering all the adventures … Continue reading Remember Travel?
Life in Lockdown
I can't believe it's a year this month since I wrote a post for this blog. Life definitely got in the way of writing with one of those things being a really bad car crash which happened a year ago this month. Thankfully Ken wasn't injured physically, whereas I ended up spending two nights in … Continue reading Life in Lockdown
A Mermaid in the Scottish Highlands
Did you know that mermaids have been seen in the Highlands? We heard a rumour so set out to find out for ourselves if this was true. On the way we went for a drive down on the north side of the moray firth as it's an area we've never been before - it's really … Continue reading A Mermaid in the Scottish Highlands
Beautiful Inverewe Gardens
I was recently told that we must visit Inverewe Gardens on Scotland's west coast and on our way to make sure we stopped at the bookshop in Gairloch. The way it was described to me was a mixture of anarchy and Buddhism - I was hooked and couldn't wait to experience it so off we … Continue reading Beautiful Inverewe Gardens
Fairies and a very strange bridge
I'm putting on record that I have the best husband in the world!! Earlier this week he took me to a wonderful fairy woods near Buckie on the north east coast of Scotland. I love fairies and this is a must visit for anyone who has a similar obsession to mine, or if you have … Continue reading Fairies and a very strange bridge
