We have added to our traveling party as from yesterday. We left Fort Augustus early and headed north up the loch to Inverness airport. The trip up was beautiful as a layer of mist had settled on the loch and surrounding hills giving us amazing photo opportunities on the way. We picked up Jac (who had said goodbye to her parents the day before) then headed south east toward our next destination close to Stirling. The drive was scenic although we had to contend wit...

We woke to the best brekky of our trip so far before our big cruise. With full bellies we stepped out the door & wandered down to the dock to catch our boat. Unfortunately we were the only ones for the first cruise and were told to come back in an hour to try again. We didn't want to waste the day hanging around so we grabbed the car and headed back to Drumnadrochit for a coffee. We also managed to get on a boat pretty quickly and although it only held 10 peo...

To start with he was late but when we finally got going he kept going in circles because he couldn't understand his gps. I had to navigate and we eventually got to Luton with a little time to spare. Thankfully our flight was less dramatic and we arrived in Edinburgh pretty quickly,...

I just can't believe how fast time is disappearing. It is a whole 3 months since our last blog entry... so much for weekly, or monthly blogs. We have been super busy with work, a wedding, trips here and there, work, planning for our parents, oh and did I mention work? Jac has finished her season at Brompton Primary & is now trekking around Ireland with her parents. To say she was happy to see them was an understatement, it almost matched her joy at finishing ...
