Still dreaming of travel? Today I thought I would share with you our trip to Maastricht in the Netherlands which we visited in September 2019. Why did we go to Maastricht? It was easy to get to from the Highlands - we flew direct to Amsterdam and then we got the bus which only took … Continue reading A Short Break in Maastricht
Skye Live Music Festival 2019
As lockdown continues for us, I thought I'd leave our recap of Amsterdam for a moment and instead revisit our fabulous weekend on Skye last year for the Sky LIve Festival. As always, when we were packing one of the brats tried to fit themselves into the luggage. The drive to where we were staying … Continue reading Skye Live Music Festival 2019
Cats in a Museum
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
