While visiting our dear friends on their little farm

outside of Inverness we got to enjoy a lovely time

and got to cuddle with Morgie the Cat!!

 

 

Morgie is a sweetheart!

 

 

 

Snoozin' time!

 

 

Lots of sheep in Scotland!

Day 7 A Little Side Trip to Inverness September 20, 2016

Before getting on the train to Inverness

I had to check the poly tunnel to make sure

I did not need to buy tomatoes!

Nope- lots of glorious tomatoes for tomorrow's dinner!  

 

 

 Beautiful apples on the side of the barn... 

 

 

The neighbors sheep who are pastured on

our friends property.

 

Here comes our 20 minute ride to Inverness! 

 

 

 

We wandered around and then found a nice little

pub for a pint before catching up with Toni!

 

On our car ride back home we had to stop for

these black sheep photo ops!

 

Morgie kept watch over the house while sleeping...

 

 

The fish monger dropped by also!

Lovely fish! Tomorrow's dinner...yum!

 

 

Leaving Edinburgh and On to Inverness! Day Five September 18, 2016

We're all packed and ready to go to

 Waverly Station to catch our train for Inverness!

 

But first we take another walk along the

Waters of the Leith to 

Edinburgh's Museum of Modern Art 

 

We love this walk along the water!

 

 

Every bend in the path demands a photo!

 

 

We took a path through this cemetery

to get to the museum....

 

 

Generations of families...

 

 

 

Fabulous sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi?

Not sure and I am probably wrong!

Do correct me please!

 

Outdoor sculpture to walk on...

 

I am posing with Duane Hanson's "Tourists"...

 

 

A surreal installation for children...

 

Walked back to our B and B to catch our taxi... 

to Waverly Station...

 

 

Waiting for our delayed train...

 

 

Gorgeous views along the way!

 

 

 

 

We finally arrived about 30 minutes late....

More tomorrow!

Through Stockbridge...

 

 

Peeked in at the local library...

 

 

An enjoyable walk...

 

The Botanical gardens were amazing!

Nothing better than sitting by the fire

with Morgie the Cat after doing a

few chores around the croft!

A few years ago we spent 2 lovely weeks

with our friends Toni and Andrew on their

10 acre croft near Inverness. 

We were happy to feed the piggies, 

the chickens and help out where ever!

What's in Your Pocket?

Here's what's been in my jacket pocket for over a year....

A granite chip from a cemetery in Guanajuato, two stones found

on a path near Muir of Ord outside of Inverness Scotland,

a little Christmas Candy pin from JCPenney and a small baby photo found on a street. 

I call them my talismans.

I did have a small film canister of soil from Floddden Battlefield,

but I was afraid it might open up inside my pocket-

so now it's in my jewelry box.....

so fess up...whatcha got in your pockets??

Inside looking out..........

Loch na Mhoid croft

Kitchen door to the garden......

Looking out the downstairs bathroom

Lovely window niche in the byre
Also known as the drinking room?

One of Morgies many napping stations...

Morgie hard at work-doing penance for her night time activities...
