I've chosen flowers for my F word as they're something that a lot of us see everyday of our lives without even realising it or appreciating them. Not just in nature but also in some unexpected places - we just have to open our eyes and look. Flowers also have so many different meanings depending … Continue reading F is for Flowers
E is for Exploration
I'm not sure why, but I found it really difficult to think of a word to use for the letter E. So, after much racking of my very little brain I decided on Exploration as it's something that Ken and I do a lot of.When we go to a new place or country we like … Continue reading E is for Exploration
D is for Doors
D is for doors (not the group, though I do think that Jim Morrison was sex on legs) which I absolutely love - they are like magical portals to another world. All around the world doors can look so similar but completely different as well. I'm always taking pictures of doors and I love to … Continue reading D is for Doors
C is for Cats
C could have been for lots of things that I love including cookies and cake, but neither of these are as important to me as cats - I'm a little bit obsessed!! I recently saw a t-shirt with a brilliant saying which I think should be my slogan: "One cat short of crazy". Growing up … Continue reading C is for Cats
B is for Blessed (which is what I am)

Botanics, a canal, a castle, and no sign of the Loch Ness monster.
A glorious spring day here in the Highlands and perfect weather to have a fun day out. Our first stop was the Inverness Botanic Gardens, which whilst small are still beautiful. They've been in the local paper lately because a cat has adopted them and is living there - today he must have found a … Continue reading Botanics, a canal, a castle, and no sign of the Loch Ness monster.
Puffins and snow in the Cairngorms National Park
Good Friday and a chance to spend some quality time together by exploring more of this wonderful country, so we jumped in pugsley (our car) and headed for the hills. We sort of had a starting point to head for but then we just went where pugsley felt like taking us.Our first stop was Grantown-on-Spey, … Continue reading Puffins and snow in the Cairngorms National Park
Exploring Inverness – the Highlands capital
Last Sunday was one of those days where we meandered wherever our feet decided to take us, the type of day where we laugh, explore, and act like we haven't a care in the world (there are usually lots of kisses as well but I didn't want to be accused of being too soppy).We parked … Continue reading Exploring Inverness – the Highlands capital
Spring has sprung in Forres
